Daily Life

Just when students are becoming tired of class and talking about themselves in therapy, the groups switch onto the Adventure Weekend. Some activities like Rock Climbing, equine, and camping are on a regularly scheduled rotation, while other activities like biking, fishing, and canoeing will be scheduled more or less frequently based on student interest and weather. While the challenges of the campus days are more individual, cerebral and emotional, the challenges of the adventure weekend are more physical and group oriented. Students will hike up to amazing views and work together to set up tarps at camp. In exchange for cushy mattresses in the dorms, the adventure weekend has beautiful waterfalls and sunsets, excitement on the bikes and climbing wall, and also sometimes involves drying your socks by the fire after getting caught in the rain. Just when students are ready for a hot shower, it's time for movie night and a transition back to campus days.
