Mountain Challenge

The Mountain Challenge program provides an opportunity for students to get into the wilderness. Area mountains, lakes, rivers, and woods provide the setting for the various Mountain Challenge activities, which include:

  • Alpine Tower
  • Bicycle Trips
  • Canoe Trips
  • Caving
  • Hiking
  • Map and Compass
  • Mountain Trips and Expeditions
  • Outdoor or Environmentally related service projects
  • Rafting
  • Rock Climbing and Rappelling
  • Ropes Courses

Many of the events in the program require no experience or special equipment. The only requirements are a willingness to try new experiences and a commitment to one’s best effort. One credit hour may be earned by participating in five Mountain Challenge activities. Each student may earn up to three credit hours through participation in the Mountain Challenge program. Credit is granted through the activity course offerings in Physical Education.
