In the fall and the spring, the Walkabout backpacking experiences encourage students to look within, challenge themselves and build a supportive community. In the fall, we spend a week in the Catskill Mountains. In the spring, we look back on the year's accomplishments from the Adirondack Mountains. The students learn how to transfer the lessons they learned in the wilderness to their lives back home. There are, also, two other reasons for the backbacking trips. First of all, it's fun. Second of all, it's their gym credit.

"This is the most amazing way to get gym credit!"
