Course Description:

Not all classrooms have four walls. Do you want a physical ed credit while in our Canadian out-of-doors? Do you learn by doing? This co-ed, group-oriented, interdisciplinary program takes place primarily within “the outdoor classroom” “The Greenbelt”, the Rideau River, and the Adirondacks) as well as within the conventional classroom to get ready for our outdoor experiences (Canoeing, Hiking, Orienteering, Winter Camping and Cycling). Students leave this course with memories, and skills that last a lifetime.
