Sophomores Take a Walk in the Woods
This year marked the Wilderness Expedition’s 40th year, with over 70 sophomores participating in the 10-day hiking
trip through the Nantahala National Forest area of North
Carolina/Tennessee.
The emphasis of the expedition has always been on developing positive attitudes towards unfamiliar situations while teaching specific outdoor skills. In this environment, students are challenged to learn necessary basic skills, to accomplish collective tasks as a group, and to meet the physical demands made on them by the environment.
For many participants, this is their first experience with an extensive backcountry adventure and a trip of a lifetime. Not only does the Expedition stress the personal confidence and strength one gains from taking part, but it also encourages a sense of camaraderie among the tenth grade class.
