Our outdoor education program gives our senior high school students the opportunity to develop confidence through physically, mentally, and spiritually challenging tasks in a wilderness setting. Students have the opportunity for personal development by accepting and attempting challenges and are encouraged to enthusiastically participate in all activities to the best of their ability. They develop their social skills through positive interactions in group situations, working on trust, respect, and cooperation with their peers. 

The outdoor education program includes both shorter day trips (e.g., ziplining, rock climbing, bird banding, downhill skiing, cross country skiing, tandem biking, etc.) throughout the school year, as well as multi-day wilderness trips (e.g., backcountry canoe and hiking trips, winter camping, etc.), which provides students with unique opportunities to experience the outdoors. Instruction includes the learning of prerequisite skills and knowledge, gathering and understanding the equipment required and how to use it, assisting in menu planning and food preparation, and assisting in packing and unpacking. Our staff to student ratio is low to provide a safe environment, with hands-on coaching for our students.
