[quote=Anonymous][quote]My kid thrives on it but she is extremely motivated in that way, and also an extreme athlete. She is also considering the military. My other kid, who is a normal athlete, would probably die if she had to go. Don't push kids into NOLS trips! They've got to want it.[/quote] NOLs poster here. My ADHD kid has done NOLs twice (ages 14 and 15 and one "alumni" trip with his Dad) I'd never EVER describe him as "motivated" He is skinny, small (barely larger than his pack) absolutely NOT an extreme athlete. Hardly an "athlete" at all. It was very transformative for him. He loves NOLs and wants to do it every summer. He got a decent report card from his trips (mostly) some of his shortcomings were highlighted (not a surprise, really). Its a SCHOOL, for learning. I didn't suggest "pushing" anything. There is room at NOLs for people not exactly like your child. If the program isn't right for OPs child, NOLs will let them know. Just calm down. [/quote]
