The best thing about weekends at MSSD is that students design them to suit their interests. They learn how to set priorities and manage time. Among the many activities are historical and cultural explorations, trips to distinctive shops, eateries and malls, museums and other cultural events, and special outings.
Students also plan dorm social events.
Outdoor activities are designed to be fun and to teach appropriate outdoor skills and techniques. Activities are taught in a manner that emphasizes safety and respect for the environment. Planning meetings are held prior to each activity. Students conduct the meetings and share trip information, plan transportation, decide on the menu, and discuss equipment needs. Activities are designed to be fun and at the same time teach appropriate outdoor skills and techniques.
