The Calvin Christian High School Outdoor Education class has been literally getting “out of doors” as they have been traveling to Vertical Endeavors as part of their course program. With the time that they have spent the past 4 weeks, students have been training both at the high school and on site at Vertical Endeavors to learn the sport of rock climbing. While there, students have been learning to belay, which is maintaining the safety of their fellow partner as they climb with ropes, enhance their strength, and experience a new type of sport. Bouldering, a subgenre of rock climbing just with no ropes but a very small distance to climb, has also been a great challenge to participate in. The past 4 weeks for students have been challenging, and as they nurse their sore arms, they look forward to Cross Country Skiing in the upcoming months.
