Arthur continues to impress with his dedication to learning. Since coming home, he’s taken up new sports, created a band, and written original songs. I believe Surf Term and Powder Term gave him the confidence to explore his passions and trust his ability to try new things.”

Erin P., Discover Term parent

Discover Term teaches skiing and surfing, yes, but more importantly, it teaches independence, vulnerability, responsibility, and leadership. It shows kids how to be effective leaders, manage their time (and be on time), and be a good friend. It was a unique bonding experience away from so many of the distractions middle school kids face.”

After Surf Term, Jane is far more independent, has a bigger world view, and doesn’t sweat the small stuff. For example, there was some middle school friend drama when she returned and she didn’t get involved because she just didn’t see the point. She knew it would shake out whether she got invested or not.”

Elizabeth S., Discover Term parent

Do it! Discover Term is a transformative experience at a time in their life when they need it most. Your child will come back a better, more evolved, more confident version of themselves.”

The program continues to support his development as a surfer, while more importantly nurturing his self-confidence, fostering positive leadership skills, encouraging independence, and helping him grow into a thoughtful, contributing member of this beautiful world.”
