Spring Term 2026 Expedition Academy:
Spring Term in Expedition Academy is all about skill-building and preparation for our Capstone Expedition in August. After focusing on habits in the fall and building tools and systems in the winter, spring is where everything comes together through hands-on, applied learning.
This term centers on developing the technical and physical skills needed for our upcoming adventures. Participants will work on foundational climbing skills during a top-rope climbing day, including tying a figure eight knot, belaying, and refining climbing technique. We’ll also focus on hiking skills specific to our South Sister summit goal—learning how to move efficiently and safely on steep trails while building endurance and confidence.
In addition, students will review essential backcountry skills such as tent setup, packing systems, and trail-based decision making. Each session is designed to help participants feel capable, prepared, and confident as we move closer to our culminating expedition.
Spring Expedition Academy is about turning knowledge into action, practicing real-world skills, and stepping into independence as adventurers and teammates.
