Gone Boarding is a unique program that North Muskegon offers where students collaborate to design, construct, and learn to ride all types of boards including: surfboards, snurfers, snowboards, long boards, and stand-up paddle boards. There are significant costs associated with running this program and we appreciate your support! Click the banner at the top to donate today, or find out more here!

Explore the great outdoors with North Muskegon's new Backpacking course! This hands-on program gives students the opportunity to plan, prepare, and embark on a real backpacking excursion while learning essential survival skills, navigation, and outdoor leadership.
