Boy oh boy, how is it already day 40? It seems like just yesterday ACC was in South Carolina and we were saying hello to our first round of trips. But today ACC is in California and we said hello to some of our round four trips — how time flies! Here’s to forty days of
Sometimes Tuesdays feel like the forgotten day of the week. We all know (and sometimes dread) Mondays for being the start of the school and work week, Wednesday is hump day, Thursday is almost Friday, Friday is almost the weekend, and Saturday and Sunday get their fair share of love. When you’re on an Apogee

It was a gorgeous day today, full of sunbeams and smiles, in Brunswick and for all of our amazing Apogee trips! So many opportunities to try something new while grinning radiantly from ear to ear.

Much like the heroes in beloved Disney movies like The Incredibles or Mulan, our students are crushing it in the field. Even when faced with challenges, our groups “Just Keep Swimming.” Dory would be proud! We may not be able to be there with them, but the mysterious magic of the internet gives us a
Gold medal track and field athlete Sanya Richards Ross said, “Failure I can live with. Not trying is what I can’t handle.” For many of our students, Apogee trips consist of many firsts, whether it be rafting, sea kayaking, biking long distances, hiking for hours with loaded backpacks, or climbing the highest peaks in the
