The KES Program
Kinesiology, Engineering & Sustainability
A “STEAM” Outdoors program
The seasonal KES Program creates accessible, engaging learning environments where students can move, explore, and create. By blending physical activity, creative exploration, and career-connected skills, KES empowers youth to see the world through the lens of science, technology, and community.
Through dynamic STEAM learning, participants experience:
Kinesiology & Movement Science – exploring how the body moves and performs.
Material Science & Environmental Impact – understanding the science behind gear, equipment, and sustainable design.
"TECH in REC” – integrating innovation into outdoor and active experiences.
Outdoor Learning – connecting with nature through hands-on exploration.
Local Outdoor Industry Introductions – engaging with community experts and outdoor businesses.
Every session is movement-based, hands-on, and connected to the real world—designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and strengthen ties between young people and their communities. There are many more topics within the 3 pillars our students will experience!
