Freshmen return from Outward Bound
Some 150 ninth graders spent five days and four nights in Florida's 10,000 Islands in late January, participating in Ransom Everglades' annual freshman adventure that illustrates the school's commitment to experiential learning and fostering an appreciation of the natural world. The freshmen broke off into teams of eight students each and undertook separate journeys through the region's waterways with guides from the North Carolina-based Outward Bound. Photo Gallery
Members of The Class of 2022 prepared for the trip into the Everglades, an RE tradition for more than 30 years, during their first-semester physical education classes, where they practiced kayaking, swimming and navigation, and carried out capsize drills in the Ansin Aquatic Center pool. The program, coordinated by Dean of the Freshman Class Karen Thompson, is designed to bring the freshmen closer together while teaching them skills including teamwork, leadership and resilience.
