Venture Students Head to Utah!

Earlier in the semester the Venture students learned all the details involved in planning and leading large group trips. They discussed topics such as risk management, environmental concerns, budget needs, group dynamics, and many other relevant topics. The classroom work proved itself to be more challenging than was expected but all 12 students dreamed up great plans for there own 8 day trip into the high desert canyons of southern Utah. From budgets, to lists and detailed itinerary, they proposed their plans to the staff. Those plans were then compiled into an actual trip schedule, taking one day of activities and meals from each proposed trip. The students final grade will come during the first week of April when they get a chance to test their plans, as they each lead one day of our adventure. Stay tuned for details on the trip...
