ESCAPE MANOR FOR STUDENTS

transferable skills workshops

“The escape rooms were above and beyond what I had expected, each room had a unique and interesting theme and made it essential for everyone to participate in order to escape. In addition to the escape, we participated in a coaching session led by Jay Gosselin. He was a great speaker! The seminar was quite captivating and got us all thinking about our futures. I would definitely recommend Escape Manor and MentorU for schools.”
— Erin, grade 12 student leader

Deeper Learning: an immersive educational experience

A successful escape from one of Escape Manor’s fun and challenging rooms requires collaboration, communication, critical thinking and creativity. These are essential skills for students heading into the rapidly changing workforce of tomorrow. With Escape Manor for Students, we invite you to maximize the benefits of this interactive educational tool by helping your students transfer the lessons to their everyday lives.

We are proud to present a partnership with MentorU, a local enterprise that inspires students to make use of their unique potential to create purpose in their lives today, and to build on that purpose for a meaningful tomorrow. Through this partnership, we offer interactive workshops where the escape experience serves as a platform to facilitate deeper learning and development of important transferable skills.

Our post-escape workshops help students synthesize the information and lessons gathered during the escape and relate them to relevant aspects of their everyday lives. Learning themes include career development, leadership and relationship building.

We would love to host your students, so let us know how we can help them dive deeper into essential career and interpersonal skills.
