Program | FR–SRFreshmen–Senior | 8 | 08 | Day and Evening | Su 16 Session II Summer | Many cultures have traditions of teachers and students spending time in wilderness. We’ll let wilderness work in us, inspire us and help immerse us in writing. Carrying our own food and shelter will focus us, and open new outlooks on sustainability. We’ll live Leave-No-Trace ethics as we paddle to Squaxin Island and hike in the Olympic and Cascade Mountains, including Rainier and St. Helens. We’ll read, seminar, write and critique, with ongoing faculty feedback.This all-level program could be an orientation for incoming students, and a chance for anyone to engage deeply with writing, and/or produce a finished publishable manuscript. | John Schaub | Mon Tue Wed Thu | Freshmen FR Sophomore SO Junior JR Senior SR | Summer | Summer | ||||

Contract | SO–SRSophomore–Senior | 16 | 16 | Day | S 16Spring | Individual study offers students the opportunity to study subjects or do projects not typically available through the regular curriculum. It also offers opportunities to learn about their own learning process: the opportunity to develop self-direction, to learn how to manage a personal project, and/or to learn how to learn technical material outside of the classroom. Students interested in a self-directed project, research, or course of study in outdoor leadership, ecology or agriculture are invited to contact the faculty. Groups of students interested in studying a subject together are strongly encouraged as well. | Paul Przybylowicz | Sophomore SO Junior JR Senior SR | Spring | Spring | |||||

Program | SO–SRSophomore–Senior | 16 | 16 | Day | W 16Winter | What types of communities exist on, within, and beneath the snow pack? What does it take to not only survive, but to thrive in snow-covered environments? We will explore these questions from a variety of perspectives: macroscopic to microscopic, external to internal, research to experience. The major topics will be ecology, snow science, outdoor leadership, and wilderness medicine.We will examine the microbial ecology of the snowpack and the ecology of snow-covered ecosystems. We’ll also study how snow changes over time and use this information to assess avalanche hazards, both through terrain analysis and field studies. Our studies of outdoor leadership will range from logistics to group process; from calculating the amount of calories and food needed for an expedition to resolving conflicts in groups. Students will also learn winter travel and camping skills and then combine all of these skills with field investigations of snow-covered ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest.We will complete a Wilderness First Responder training and receive a nationally recognized certification. This advanced medical training is the outdoor industry standard for guides that take people into remote areas for recreational and/or educational activities. This intensive 80-hour training will run from Jan 12-20. During this time, class will start at 8 AM and go until 5-6 PM each day.There will be a significant field component to this class, regardless of weather. Students must provide their own winter camping gear. Winter travel and safety gear (snowshoes or skis, avalanche shovel, transceiver, and probe) will also be needed, but some of this gear is available on campus and can be shared. There will be a multi-day field trip that will be scheduled after the snowpack develops (think snow!). | Paul Przybylowicz Joel Reid | Mon Mon Tue Tue Wed | Sophomore SO Junior JR Senior SR | Winter | Winter | ||||
