Legacy Xperience is for ages 7-17. If you have young adults ages 18-20, please visit the Legacy in Action page.
General Information
Legacy Xperience offers a weeklong curriculum, combining components of visual & performing arts, cultural awareness, volunteerism, and global citizenship. Ireland will set the stage to Xplore the local region and a wide variety of Xtraordinary outdoor adventures, as well as to interact with the local community.
The Legacy Xperience will include a final performance on Friday for hundreds of enthusiastic alumni, followed by an action-packed Saturday of adventurous high ropes, low ropes, lakeside swimming and more. Before heading home, campers will take part in a facilitated reflection of their Xperience and the rich legacy they inherited — it’s just like a ‘mini’ UWP Xperience!
