The classes of 2011 and 2012 each took a day off in September for a special trip that emphasized the importance of working together to accomplish goals and meet challenges. The first trip on Sept. 14 took two groups of sophomores on an adventure to ropes courses in Santa Cruz and La Honda, where they conquered a series of obstacles and in the process learned how to utilize teamwork and rely on one another.
The following Monday, separate groups of juniors ventured out into the water on trips of their own, going kayaking at Elkhorn Slough and Monterey Bay, and sailing in Santa Cruz. In addition to the valuable lessons learned about trust and teamwork, the trips allowed the students to get closer to nature and appreciate the beauty of the California outdoors.
