Wilderness Skills 31G (WIS 31G)
This course is designed to provide students with skills
necessary to plan, participate in, and enjoy adventures that take place away
from urban centers. A connectedness with nature and the ability to make choices
for a sustainable future will be some of the underlying themes of the course.
Classes will meet outside the school schedule once per week throughout the
school year. A significant field trip component exists with this course, which
could include a fall camping trip and a spring adventure. Students will gain
skills in camping, safety, navigation, route selection, equipment use, equipment
maintenance, hiking and canoeing, as well as gain interpersonal skills as they
work with their peers to meet individual and group goals. Personal growth will
be achieved as students are pushed to their limits both physically and
mentally.
