Lorem Ipsum Dolor

In our Upper School, Adventure Trips are a cornerstone of our educational experience, designed to unite classes and foster closer bonds among students. 

 Join us in celebrating these extraordinary adventures that bring our students closer together, foster lifelong friendships, and create unforgettable experiences. The Adventure Trip program is an integral part of what makes our Upper School a unique and enriching environment for all.

Upper School Adventure Trips By Grade

Each year, students in Grades 5 through 8 embark on unique journeys that combine excitement, teamwork, and personal growth. These trips provide invaluable opportunities for students to step out of their comfort zones, work collaboratively, and create lasting memories.

From exploring new terrains to discovering hidden talents, our Adventure Trips offer students unforgettable experiences that go far beyond the classroom. Designed to push boundaries and inspire growth, our adventure trips immerse students in hands-on experiences that encourage problem-solving, leadership, and self-discovery. Whether navigating through rugged landscapes or bonding over team-building challenges, these trips are a true adventure in every sense. Here are just a few of the exciting highlights they get to enjoy! 

Cross-Country Skiing

Grade 6 students get the opportunity to cross-country ski with friends in the Catskill Mountains, NY.

Ziplining in the Adirondacks

On their Adventure Trip, Grade 8 students ziplined and successfully completed a ropes course in the mountains. 

Climbing in a Bear Den

Last year, students had the amazing opportunity to climb in a bear den. Even our teachers did it!

Our Adventure Trips offer students the chance to step outside the classroom and immerse themselves in experiences that challenge them both physically and mentally. These trips are carefully designed to provide students with unique opportunities to grow, learn, and bond with their peers in ways that traditional classroom settings cannot replicate. From hiking through scenic landscapes to tackling team-building challenges, every moment is a chance to develop new skills, build lasting memories, and gain a greater sense of independence and self-awareness.

Why do these trips matter? Because they go beyond fun and excitement—they foster essential life skills such as teamwork, leadership, and resilience. Students gain confidence as they face new challenges, and they learn valuable lessons about perseverance, problem-solving, and connecting with nature.

Whether it’s navigating through a tough trail or supporting a classmate, these trips provide a transformative experience that shapes their growth and success, both now and in the future.
