A Typical Day

Each day varies according to group needs, and combines structured learning time with exploration time.

On a four-day program, students experience an arrival day, packed days on the trail, three-night programs, and a departure day.

​

Every group has the chance for team-building, a guided solo walk, an "All-Day Adventure", a creek study, and an ecology study. Our night programs include a campfire, night walk, and barn boogie. On departure days, students celebrate their triumphant week and have a closing ceremony.

On arrival day, students enjoy a campus tour and welcoming ceremony. For the rest of their week, two cabins combine to form a trail group led by one Naturalist. Teachers assign these groups before arrival day.

 

Trail groups form a special bond, as they explore the outdoors together, eat together, and share night program activities.
