A Note About Our Outdoor Activities:

Maine, often called "Vacationland," is famous for its natural beauty. Summer Term participants will enjoy a range of outdoor adventures, such as hiking and canoeing.

While this may require some students to step out of their comfort zones, these activities are designed to be suitable for all levels of athleticism and prior experience.
