Outdoor Education

Starting in fifth grade, our Outdoor Education program includes extended trips to Camp Onyahsa, Letchworth State Park, and Camp Pathfinder. During these excursions, students make important gains in independence, self-reliance, teamwork and leadership skills, while taking part in experiential learning in science, physical education, and health. Beyond that, these trips create lasting bonds of trust and friendship among students.
