Dear Friends,
Welcome to the Boojum Institute for Experiential Education. I am often asked, “What makes the Boojum Institute’s programs so special?”
 I fundamentally believe that the Boojum Experience is special because it changes lives, institutions and communities. It does this by reaching students in meaningful ways through a shared outdoor experience which fosters leadership, enhances the ability to work together and inspires environmental citizenship. The experiences of the over 80,000 young people and adults who have participated in Boojum programs since its inception in 1975 are testimony to our impact.
All of The Institute’s experiential outdoor education programs focus on our organization’s core values: Learning and Personal Growth, Teamwork and Partnerships, Leadership, Compassion, Environmental Stewardship, and Community... values that are inextricably linked to everything that we do. The Boojum Experience also engages children, teachers and staff holistically, making learning fun, exciting and inspirational.
Whether you’re an educational partner or a potential supporter, I encourage you to explore our website or call me to learn more about The Boojum Experience – and how we can work together to improve young peoples’ lives.
Kurt A. Merrill, Executive Director
