Something wild: Living it up Central Oregon style

Few places offer as many world-class outdoor opportunities as Central Oregon. Our program features adventures for the weekends and on school breaks. And once each term, we offer an adventure trip led by professional guides, and designed to teach problem solving and leadership skills, while challenging students to overcome their limiting beliefs. Adventures include:

• Rock Climbing at Smith Rock - day trips to the world-famous sport-climbing destination each term

• GPS Eco-Tours - a treasure hunt using GPS and map and compass skills, scheduled year-round
• Pole, Pedal, Paddle Teams - build a team and begin training in March for Bend's popular May race that combines downhill skiing, Nordic skiing, cycling, running and paddling
• Kayaking the Puget Sound - see orcas and other wildlife on Washington's ocean waters, summer only
• Caving - explore lava tubes and caves, summer and fall only
