The
program follows eight young adults through a carefully orchestrated
extreme adventure in the mountains of North and South Carolina. During
their time, the group lives its adventure 24 hours a day, saying
goodbye to their normal lives and hello to an experience they will
never forget. The feel of an outbound adventure, the visual impact of
extreme sports, the life challenges and struggles of eight teenagers
involved in the experience of a lifetime, makes The Ultimate Choice a
front runner in core educational/informational programming. This
compelling series is linked to lessons in ethics and values that are
actively learned and understood as teens tackle a variety of
challenging tasks designed to incorporate valuable life lessons.
