This two-month gap semester empowers motivated participants with skills that provide the foundations for personal and professional entry into the outdoor world. Through comprehensive instruction from experienced outdoor professionals, we’ll learn the ins and outs of four pursuits: backpacking, rock climbing, mountain bike trail riding and bikepacking, and backcountry skiing. Our approach isn’t just to guide you through these experiences; rather, we’ll take the time for comprehensive instruction so you can pursue these adventures for the rest of your life. Paired with these technical skills, our intentional community and close mentorship creates the opportunity for self-discovery, collaboration, and leadership development.
