There were many “firsts” accomplished by ARC students in Sierra National Forest this past weekend. Students ate s’mores over a campfire for the first time. They experienced sleeping under the stars in a tent. They climbed up a 90-foot stretch of vertical granite rock. And they learned how to work in a team and encourage and support one another in the outdoors.
Six Outward Bound instructors-in-training from the High Sierra Instructor Development program led the weekend. They facilitated leadership activities for the ARC students and created a safe environment of laughter, fun, and learning. Thank you Outward Bound California for a fantastic weekend!
