In this course, students will both experience and study several outdoor activities, in terms of the physics involved and effects on the human body. Students will study the long-term health benefits of hiking, biking, and skiing, analyze the differences between aerobic and anaerobic activity, and also study the effects of technology on these activities (particularly biking and skiing). Local mountain biking and hiking excursions will be planned to such places as the Northwest Woods and Hither Hills State Park in Montauk.
Students will also travel to Stratton Mountain in Vermont for four days of alpine skiing (cross country skiing and snowshoeing may also be available). Students will be required to document their learning and experiences in a journal in the medium of their choice (writing, photography, or video). All skill levels accepted; no prior experience required.
