Hammond Upper School Trips
Explore your world!
Class trips in the Upper School offer unique opportunities to experience learning outside of a classroom. The mantra of these trips, as you’ll hear often from the headmaster and involved faculty and students repeat, is to “expand your comfort zone.” Each grade level trip is carefully and consciously designed to provide our students with a safe, rewarding and positive experience, and one which expands students’ horizons. Students regularly look forward to these trips as one of the highlights of each year.
9th Grade Trip : August 24-27, 2013, Bryson City, NC
The transition to the Upper School begins with this shared experience in the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains. Students learn about teamwork, bonding, confidence, and trust guided by Senior Leaders while negotiating a ropes course and learning to paddle kayaks on a river adventure.
