The Academic, Recreational, and Social Skills or "Activity Classes" are designed to provide learning opportunities for students in a number of areas related to non-traditional education. Students learn such skills as CPR, specific skills development for GED tests, structured game and recreation skills, recreational reading, and low-tech woodworking with basic hand tools. All of these activities are designed to foster independent, goal-oriented skills that will have specific application when the students return to the community.
