Recent summer opportunities, available to Middle and Upper School students depending on the nature of the trip, have included:
Allagash Challenge, a 98-mile, fourteen-day wilderness canoe trip in northern Maine
John Smith Chesapeake Water Trail Experience, a six-day backcountry canoe trip on the Patuxent River
Peer Leadership Workshop, a five-day backpacking trip in Shenandoah National Park that focuses on outdoor leadership
West Coast Adventure, a fourteen-day backpacking and paddling exploration of the Oregon Cascades and northern California redwoods regions
SusqueBayChallenge, a 633-mile canoe trip from the headwaters of the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem in New York, down the Susquehanna River to the southern waters of the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia.
The opportunity to learn in these outdoor settings is a concept that has been embedded in the life of the School since its inception and has a profound impact on the students' academic work as well as the growth and well-being of the School community.
