How hard are Overlands Field Studies programs?
All of our service programs require not only enthusiasm, focus and flexibility, but also a strong work ethic and a willingness to be physically challenged. A positive attitude and a willingness to work hard as volunteers are central to the success of our community service programs. Participants should be eager to take part in a variety of service projects and be ready for both the challenges and rewards that service work offers. All of our service programs have an element of outdoor work than can by physically demanding such as farming or doing trail work; however the work will be appropriately challenging for the students given their age and experience.
