Our group will spend three nights in Franconia Notch State Park at Lafayette Place Campground pursuing day trips to build basic expedition skills while hiking, swimming, and camping. Our final three days we’ll spend high in alpine terrain, above 4,000 feet, on a three-day excursion into the Franconia Range.
During our backcountry experience we will spend two nights at the renowned Appalachian Mountain Club Huts. Here we will stay in amazing backcountry lodging with breakfast and dinner provided each day by the Hut Croo - yes, that is how they spell “crew”! We will finish our adventure with a well-deserved trip to Whale’s Tale Waterpark before flying back to Baltimore on Thursday evening. Don’t miss out!

Our group will spend two nights along the shores of Dillon Reservoir near Breckenridge. Here we will pursue day trips to build basic expedition skills while hiking, swimming, and camping.
We will then head to the high desert near Buena Vista, Colorado under the shadow of the Collegiate Peaks. In Buena Vista we will spend a day whitewater rafting on the Arkansas River, and another day enjoying a high ropes adventure course, both with our guides from Noah’s Ark Rafting.
Our final three days we’ll spend high in alpine terrain, above 10,000 feet, on a three-day excursion into the heart of the Rockies. During our backcountry experience we will spend two nights at the renowned 10th Mountain Division Huts at Jackal Hut.

Costa Rica
For the School's inaugural summer trip in 2025, students went on an adventure in Costa Rica. They put their Spanish skills to use and explored the extraordinary nature and culture of Costa Rica, seeing dense rainforest and hot springs, nature parks and a conservation museum. Students also kayaked on beautiful Lake Arenal in the shadow of the Arenal Volcano and ziplined through the treetops of a wildlife refuge. They visited the Ecolodge Biological Reserve, hearing from locals about their conservation efforts.
