Alumni Seminars

We offer one- to five-day seminars for grads, their friends, and family.

Seminars focus on specific technical skill instruction—such as sailing, climbing or paddling—and re-connect alumni with the school. Seminars also emphasize safety, judgment, wilderness ethics, leadership and fun. Class size varies from eight to twenty persons. Often we conduct seminars in conjunction with area reunions. If you are interested in having a seminar in your area, contact the alumni office.
