Challenge Yourself!
Adventure Series outings are fun, alternative learning experiences that challenge students to engage in physically demanding outdoor activities that not only emphasize wellness, but provide practical leadership tools, lessons on group dynamics, and opportunities to enhance communication and social skills.
We also hold open rock wall times twice a week: 7 to 9 p.m. Mondays and 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursdays at the rock wall in the Simms Center on Main. No experience necessary! Come try one of the best ways to get a workout!
