WILDERNESS PURSUITS 10

Wilderness Pursuits 10 is a multi-disciplinary program based on the idea that learning can best be achieved through direct experience. Motivated and adventurous students will be provided opportunities to explore an integrated curriculum focusing on outdoor skills and pursuits, geography, traditional knowledge and environmental studies. Most importantly, participants will be challenged to learn about themselves and how they interact with others in different environments and situations. Through this course, students will earn credit for Outdoor Education 11, Career Life Education and Physical and Health Education 10. The course is scheduled for three blocks every two days. There are typically 4 trips (varying between 1-8 days) scheduled over the year. Students interested in this program must be prepared to commit to the time requirements involved to be eligible for entry. The course selection process involves a written application, 2 teacher/coach references, and an interview. This process is undertaken in March and April. The cost for the program is an additional $1,200 for the year. For more information, please speak with Mr. Field. The program is described in more detail here.
