Adventure Treks
Pisgah, North Carolina
7th Grade Trip
September -  Tues, 13th-Friday, 16th, 2011 

Our primary goals in integrating these types of trips into our middle school agenda is to encourage new friendships and relationships among the faculty and the kids, to encourage unique situations that develop character within each individual, and to encourage an outdoor education that can be just as valuable as an in-classroom education. We believe that these types of adventures in the first few months of the school year are extremely powerful in unifying a student body and building strong school community. There are so many educational opportunities that can be addressed outside the classroom. This type of adventure, exposing them to a wide variety of new experiences that build self-confidence, self-discipline, independence, leadership, and community living skills is invaluable.
