What Does "Experiential" Mean?

Experiential Learning is a fancy description of "Learning by Doing."  We know that when a child actively participates in a learning experience, he or she will retain the concept much longer and will have a greater understanding of the concept.  Often, trying to teach abstract topics like grace and faith are better understood by doing an activity that shows that objective.  Not only is this a great teaching tool, but we certainly make stuff fun!!
