Student Outdoor Learning Expeditions

2010 Expeditions
New Zealand
WALES
Immerse yourself in active educational adventures of discovery through our International SOLE programs. Outdoor Programs partners with different departments across campus to provide students with unique and life-changing experiences. Prior experience is not necessary to participate on any of our programs. Previous destinations include: New Zealand, Fiji and Wales (U.K.).
International SOLE programs emphasize discovery of self and expedition team members- as well as discovery of the landscapes and cultures of the countries we explore. We travel in regions of countries that are seldom visited, remote and exceptionally beautiful. By choosing to challenge yourself in these settings on an adventure education program with us, you will learn valuable skills in leadership, perseverance, group dynamics, teamwork, responsibility, wilderness ethics and global perspectives.
You will be immersed in rugged environments that intentionally bring one closer to the landscapes and cultures we have chosen to explore. Through the following activities we strive to connect students to the land, water and people of these seldom traveled but richly colored regions.
