Time in the classroom will be balanced with a chance to experience a variety of athletics including ultimate frisbee, soccer, basketball, and outdoor leadership activities. Each day will conclude with residential life programs and other group activities.
In addition, students will gain global leadership experience and skills facilitated through field trips and workshops such as current event debates, cultural expo, international community dinner, and hiking Mount Monadnock. The last component of this experience is a chance to participate in our Saxtons River community by doing various community service projects with local residents and organizations.
