Single and Multi-Day Trips: Upper School trips range from one-day to week-long expeditions. During each trip, students learn about living in community and build leadership skills through both real-life experience and reflection. Many of these trips take place on weekends during the school year and include modes of travel such as paddling, climbing, skiing, and hiking.
PE Credits for Outdoor Trips: Students can earn PE credits by participating in Outdoor Education programming.
Student Leadership Opportunities: Upper School students can build their leadership skills through a variety of Outdoor Program offerings.
- Applied Leadership in the Outdoors: Students who want to dig deeper into developing their leadership and group decision-making skills will love this course, offered during Upper School Immersives..
- Student Leaders on Trips: Upper School students can serve as volunteer leaders on Middle School programs, or Upper School programs for which they have requisite experience.
- The Student Advisory Leadership Team (SALT): The Outdoor Education Program continues to benefit from the hard work and talent of our students who work with program gear and logistics, create marketing materials, provide important perspectives on programming, and analyze statistics about program participation.
