Travels in the West
We love the West and we want our
students, many of whom hail from
places like Pennsylvania and Michigan,
to see what we love. So after the first
segment we divide into four or five
groups and take off backpacking into a
few spectacular mountain wilderness
areas: California's High Sierra or
Trinity Alps, Oregon's Three Sisters
Wilderness in the Cascades or the
Wallowas in the Snake River country.
No previous backpacking experience is
necessary. We offer a choice of trips
that range from relaxing to physically
challenging.
In October, we enjoy a long weekend
on the rocky Oregon coast. Students
can relax and read on the beach,
explore the marine life in the tidal
pools, and take a dip in the Pacific
ocean.
In November, we spend several days
exploring the streets of San Francisco,
staying overnight in an International
Youth Hostel on the Bay.
In order to allow more time between
the end of the semester and
Christmas, we take only one day for
Thanksgiving. Students join a faculty
family for Thanksgiving dinner.
