Sargent Center for Outdoor Education began as Sargent Camp, the summer location for Dudley Sargent’s teacher training program. It was here in the New Hampshire woods that he developed his philosophy that shared experiences in a beautiful natural setting— including a few “mild trials and tribulations”— fostered not just camaraderie, but “individual completeness and harmony of development” as well. Today, nearly 100 years later, Sargent Center continues to be a center of progressive outdoor education.
