A Trip to the High Sierras!

This past September, College Excel led its first wilderness trip in the stunningly beautiful King's Canyon in Sequoia National Park. This 7-day adventure was headed up by our trusty outdoor guides and coaches, Will Howard and Jared Anderson.

Participants included both new and former CE students. Students took the lead in preparing for this incredible trip. They planned their menus, shopped for groceries, and packed all their gear.

The trip proved to be an exhilarating adventure, as students were encouraged to explore their physical and mental limits. Activities included morning yoga, steep climbs, and leaps into brisk glacial lakes.

Students were also able to wind down and spend time examining their short and long-term goals. In the supportive environment of coaches and peers, students got the advice and perspective to further define their passions and purpose.

Students returned reinvigorated and ready to take on the challenges of the new college term.
