Expedition Eight

In most school years all eighth graders participate in a weeklong outdoor education adventure: Expedition Eight. Small groups of students, led by professional outdoor educators from Experience Learning and Middle School teachers, explore the region surrounding Spruce Knob, West Virginia. The students camp in tents, prepare meals, hike, cave, participate in ecological study, and practice orienteering. The boys return to school in need of a good shower but with a different perspective on each other and a shared set of experiences to strengthen their bonds of brotherhood.
