NEWRY — A wilderness program for teachers, educators and counselors that explores ways to work with at-risk youth will be offered at the Hurricane Island Outward Bound School’s Leon L. Bean Mountain Center in Newry, Saturday, Aug. 26, to Friday, Sept. 1.

The program will focus on educational approaches to dealing with at-risk youth which have proven successful, and will examine ways to use these methods in the traditional classroom setting.

The course will include backpacking, rock climbing and a ropes course.

The Hurricane Island Outward Bound School is a recognized leader in wilderness programming for troubled youth.

Educators interested in enrolling may contact Dr. Kate Mora, 145 Irving Ave., Providence, R.I. 02906.
