The Kingsley Wilderness Project is an
interagency effort of MCPS and the Maryland National Capitol Park and
Planning Commission. Its purpose is to provide a meaningful
work-study program for seriously disruptive and/or chronically truant
high school students. Since 1978, the Wilderness Project mission has
been to change the venue for learning in a way that will remedy these
students sense of alienation to a learning community. The goal has
been to focus on students' self-esteem through a multi-faceted
program.
