PSD Canyon Skies Program

This exciting program, developed by Global Explorers for PSD’ Gifted and Talented students grades 7-9, explores youth leadership in the backdrop of the stunning scenery of the Southwestern United States. On this journey, PSD GT students raft the San Juan River, travel to spectacular National Monuments, and visit and conduct service on the Navajo Nation, the largest Native American reservation in the country. There’s no better place to contemplate our place in the universe than under the desert skies, gazing at a magnificent array of stars.Much more than just a trip, this program includes challenging preparatory coursework conducted by Global Explorers and a service leadership project upon students’ return. PSD GT counselors and Global Explorers staff support participating students throughout the experience.
