This program is for boys who would like to pursue outdoor recreation as their sport during that season. It is offered fall, winter, and spring. Activities vary according to the season and may be on or off campus. There are usually several options to choose from each season.
Emphasis is placed on minimum impact travel, leadership, and communication skills.
One of the requirements of the afternoon program is that students must plan and execute a weekend trip in good style. For the winter group, we hiked on the Appalachian trail near the Nantahala river. We worked on developing safe camping techniques, navigation skills and various leadership skills. Everyone learned about camping in tough conditions. This fall we are offering several seminars in various outdoor activities.
