FLC is an active, hands-on, you-have-to-try-this-for-yourself educational experience. We don't just sit in small classes and look at the mountains. We hold classes there. Or the desert, the river, a non-profit in town, or even the US-Mexico border. We install solar panels on the Navajo Nation and water systems in Myanmar. We take trips to the highest peaks on Earth. You have got to try us.
