Adventure Sampler

Catalog description

This class is a perfect way to experience a variety of adventure sports at an introductory level without a semester –long commitment to an activity you are unfamiliar with. With the expert guidance of a trained instructor, you will get to experience short modules that begin with the most fundamental skills like basic outdoor clothing, equipment, and preparation, and progress to activities like hiking, orienteering, beginner canoeing, and more! This class will utilize the “challenge by choice” philosophy and will focus on positive support and encouragement to allow students to safely explore activities that might otherwise seem too daunting.
