Course Description:
| When you think of hiking, most people imagine heavy packs, walking
sticks, trails, climbing, steep rocky terrain, wild animals, and dehydrated
food. However, do not forget about the miles of walking, torrential
rains, hot or freezing weather and the beauty of where you are and have
been. All the while feeling proud from the knowledge that you were
there powered only by will and alot of walking. Backpacking has become
increasingly popular with every year. People of all ages love the wilderness
and the beauty it holds
We all have our reasons for fleeing our dwellings for an outdoor adventure.
Whether a good old camping trip, picnic, over night backpack trip or a
few hours hike in the mountains, desert or on the beach of your favorite
lake or ocean. What ever the reason, I think most of us can benefit from
the magic and the mental and physical therapy of the great outdoors away
from the fast pace of normal life. Again, it is as I said before; everybody
has his or her own reasons!
Each student must fully participate in each selected activity, varying from hiking to camping, it is essential that 100 percent cooperation take place during the camping trip. Since there is no standard evaluation assessment for this course, it is extremely important for all the students to be on time, and interact in each activity. |
