Outdoor Education

Outdoor Adventure Challenge I:

allows students to gain knowledge and insight into a variety of challenging outdoor activities. Lifelong skills are acquired through participation in rock climbing, repelling, and initiatives, camping, back-packing, kayaking, and snowshoeing. Students will be required to keep a journal of their experiences. As participants in these activities, students will gain self-confidence, learn to build trust, develop effective communication skills, and learn important cooperative behaviors. Successful completion of these Outdoor Activity and Life skills will be required for enrollment in Outdoor Adventure Challenge II. Students enrolled in this class will not be permitted to exempt from physical education at any time during the semester, or repeat the class for credit.

Outdoor Adventure Challenge II:

provides students the opportunity to participate in several activities that were not offered in the Outdoor/Adventure Challenge I level course as well as activities similar to those encountered in Outdoor/Adventure Challenge I but at a more rigorous level/pace. As participants in these activities, students will continue to gain self-confidence, learn to build trust, develop effective communication skills, and learn important cooperative behaviors. Activities in the course include camping, snorkeling, advanced climbing, and high rope course. Students enrolled in this class will not be permitted to exempt from physical education at any time during the semester, or repeat the class for credit.
