About the class
Young Explorers Club
Adventure starts here! 🌍
Young Explorers Club takes learners on a new adventure each week as they discover some of the wildest, most remote and extraordinary places on Earth.
From racing to the South Pole and climbing Everest to exploring lost worlds, surviving extreme environments and diving into the deepest oceans, learners will investigate real expeditions, incredible discoveries and the people who dared to venture into the unknown.
Through maps, challenges, real-life stories, photographs, puzzles and interactive missions, learners will develop geography, navigation, problem-solving and decision-making skills while discovering how explorers plan expeditions, overcome danger and survive in some of Earth's toughest environments.
Across the year we'll explore:
Into the Unknown • Extreme Earth • Jungles & Lost Worlds • Ocean Explorers • Survival! • Expeditions That Changed the World

🐝 A little note about our first block 🐝
As we’re launching later than planned, this first block is a shorter 3-week block. You’ll only pay for these three lessons, and our usual 6-week blocks will follow. We can’t wait to welcome you!
