A favorite and often life-changing course for over ten years, this one-week summer course provides opportunities for rock climbing, rappelling, gorge exploration, and other group and individual challenges.

We'll ask you tough questions and encourage you to think deeply about yourself. And we'll create a supportive team atmosphere where we learn from one another as well as from our individual experiences. No special physical skills or training are necessary, but this is a fairly rigorous program.

This 5--day course is offered once annually through Cornell Adult University, and led by COE Senior Consultant David Moriah.

Outdoor Thrills & Skills for Parents & Teens

A variation on Outdoor Skills and Thrills, this parent-teen version promises to strengthen the special relationships in your family.

Although there will be abundant opportunities to interact with other families in the course, selected activities will capitalize on the parent-teen connection. Together you and your child (or your parent!) will climb rocks, rappel down sheer walls, explore wild and secluded gorges, all the while protected by state-of-the-art safety systems and experienced instructors. No special physical skills or training are necessary, but this is a fairly rigorous program.

This 5-day course is offered once annually through Cornell Adult University, and led by COE Senior Consultant David Moriah.
