Students plan for and engage in a 7-10 day wilderness expedition each month. Expeditions are river running, horse packing, back packing, sea kayaking, surfing, rock climbing, canyoneering, foreign travel, etc.Once a year Link students go on a month-long major expedition to a foreign country (i.e. Peru 2008; Mexico 2009; Spain/Turkey 2010; Patagonia, Chile 2011). These expeditions include language study, a field labratory for the classroom academics and backcountry adventure components.
The purpose of each trip is to help students learn planning and organizational skills, develop leadership and responsibility, challenge them physically, give them a laboratory to put their spiritual beliefs into practice, provide good fodder for quality writing and photography, and to engage them in a dynamic natural sciences environment. The adventure component of The Link School is accredited through the Association for Experiential Education (www.aee.org).
