Course Description:

'' Strapping it all on your back and setting out into a local wilderness is a dramatic change of pace for most students. Living in this small self-reliant community offers a fresh perspective on some of the attitudes and behaviors we bring to our larger communities at home. Students are taught to pitch tarps, cook meals, read topographic maps, purify water, build fires, navigate in the wilderness, and keep themselves and each other safe. Through these activities, students build self-reliance, community, self-confidence and trust. Students increase their understanding and appreciation of the environment, whether they are looking at tracks in the snow or camping up high to find a cool breeze in the summer. Working on a trail project or doing an overnight solo are elements that can be included in this course.
