Upcoming Events for Reach Outside
Academic Year 2019-2020
Please note:
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Reach Outside had to cancel all late winter and spring events. Before this, we had two skiing events fully planned. One was downhill skiing at Mt. Holly and the other was cross country skiing at the XC Ski Headquarters. The Reach Outside Adventure Race (ROAR) and the end of the year send-off event were in the process of being planned and also had to be canceled.
Unfortunately, we weren't able to do many of the things we wanted to do this year but we wanted to say thank you to everyone who worked with us in planning them. We are looking forward to next year!
February
February 16th and February 22nd:
Tubing at Hawk Island
Reach Outside is taking two trips to Hawk Island Park to go snow tubing with two different groups! Snow tubing includes hopping onto a rubber tube and sliding down many of Hawk Island's well-maintained sledding hills. Students will also have the opportunity to roast marshmallows on a nearby campfire and play a few games to get everyone moving and outside even during the winter months!
Reach Outside will cover the costs of transportation, the activities and the snacks provided.
