Sixth Grade Trip

The students spend their days learning to rock climb, horseback riding, climbing the Alpine tower and experiencing the ever favorite "Screamer." Interactive team building activities further develop their teamwork and leadership skills, and they enjoy the challenge of a hike up the ski slopes in Ruidoso. Our final day includes a visit to Smoky Bear Historical Park in Capitan with fascinating exhibits about forest health and wildfires, the science of fire ecology, and a historical look at forest fire prevention followed by a stop in Alamogordo for lunch and play time at the park on the way home. This trip offers students opportunities to build team relationships that carry into the seventh grade year.
