Introducing the Outdoor Program

9/22/2015

Over the summer the Eaglebrook Mountain Club was renamed the Eaglebrook Outdoor Program. Jack Shea, who led the Mountain Club for 20+ years, retired, and with the change in leadership came a change in name. The program itself is still the same, offering hiking, biking, canoeing, fishing, rock climbing, and other outdoor activities to students during weekends in the fall and spring.

“One of the founding principles of Eaglebrook School is the balance between rigorous academics and a healthy outdoor life,” explained Adam Williams, the new director of the Outdoor Program. “To that end, we have integrated a great deal of outdoor opportunities and education into our curriculum. Changing the name from the Mountain Club to the Eaglebrook Outdoor Program is really a recognition of the intentional nature of our outdoor curriculum. While Mountain Club had a bit of an extra-curricular feel to it, I think that Eaglebrook Outdoor Program more clearly communicates that these offerings are yet another way that support our mission as a school, and deliver the core skills and values to our students,” he finished.
