Explorer Academy
Explorer Academy is North Dakota’s first K-8 special education day school with integrated project-based STEAM and gross motor program opportunities. We strive to support the whole child by embedding social-emotional learning in all facets of their educational experience. The Explorer Academy staff strive to build relationships with every student to guide and engage them in self-regulation skills to enhance their academic and social-emotional growth.
Ninja Program
During the 45 minute classes, children are challenged by scaling the rock wall, attempting to conquer TNT’s very own warped walls, and navigating the PRX ninja rig!
PRx Ninja Rig
TNT has a first-of-it's kind ninja rig specially designed by PRX Performance. This 30-foot-long unique piece of equipment offers several features which help children build strength and confidence including: Monkey Bars, Climbing Ropes, Zip Line, Cargo Net, Rings, and Salmon Ladder.
Warped Wall
Now your kids can try their hand on the most talked about ninja obstacle with TNT's challenging warped walls! Theses obstacles test speed and strength while trying to conquer the 9 and 12 foot high walls.
What are the benefits
for my child?
