If you’ve experienced Summer Camp at Muskoka Woods, you know the significant impact it can have on you. Now take that same experience and give it to students who the system has all but given up on.
Rob Conroy is a high school gym teacher. Several years ago the board asked if he would teach a class of students who had a high likelihood of dropping out and never graduating.
After a few weeks, attendance levels began to increase. The local board of education invested and Muskoka Woods came alongside him to help give his students hope and ultimately show them success. On this episode of Beyond The Woods, President and CEO of Muskoka Woods, John McAuley, speaks with Rob about how he uses the camp to move his students from a place of hopelessness to confidence and beyond.
