Snow Fun!

Towards the end of the experiential-learning track showcase last Friday, Mr. Mac and Outdoor Track students started having some fun with the snow---snowball batting practice in slow motion! Below are some videos of the action.

Track Showcase

Students from each track make presentations of their work in the experiential-learning track program today. The Great Outdoors Track made theirs into a group presentation, incorporating elements from what they learned over the course of this past semester. 

You can learn more about the other tracks here.

Avalanche Training On Schweitzer Mountain

The Great Outdoor Track students spent the day up on Schweitzer Mountain learning about avalanches and how to build a genuine igloo. Students snowshoed in and conducted their exercises. Below are posted some images. More will be posted later, including a video of Annie the Avalanche dog!
