Project Ecolink, Holy Spirit's outdoor education program, has four primary objectives:

• to teach outdoor skills,
• to encourage spiritual growth,
• to demonstrate leadership, and
• to inspire environmental awareness.

Students leave the confines of the classroom and are allowed to learn by doing. They broaden their personal awareness and experiences through adjusting to an unfamiliar outdoor setting. They learn to separate needs from wants and learn to live without the comforts of modern America. Out of necessity, they evaluate their relationships with others, discover the need for group support and develop leadership capabilities often previously not experienced.
