Do Outdoor Education students participate in extended expeditions?
We offer many field courses that are 10 days to three weeks in length. These courses are scheduled just prior to or after the formal semester during summer or winter break. For example, the KIN 543 – Winter Backpacking Skills course is run during the two weeks prior to the first day of UNH’s spring semester. Skills courses that are scheduled during a semester involve half day and weekend trips to climbing sites, whitewater rivers, etc. Almost all of our courses have some form of field component. Students who take full advantage of the curriculum can expect to spend 100+ days learning in the outdoors.
