Students will spend the first two weeks of the term hiking and mountain biking through the towns and nature trails of Long Island’s east end, both north and south forks. Excursions will be made to such areas as Walking Dunes, the Seal Haul-Out trail, the village of Sag Harbor, and the Shinnecock Indian Reservation. Students will exercise their bodies while learning the particular history, culture, and biology of the east end. Mountain biking will take place on the trails of Montauk, East Hampton, and Rocky Point, and hiking trips will occur in the Sag Harbor historic district and whaling museum, as well as the Shinnecock Reservation. The final week will consist of a five-day trip to Southern Vermont where students will partake in a guided tour of the Southern Vermont Museum of Natural History with its extensive raptor exhibit (including dioramas as well as live hawks and owls) and also ski and snowboard the trails of Okemo Mountain in Vermont.
Welcome to our blog for "Exploring the Northeast." Photos and student accounts of our experiences will be coming shortly. Rain or shine!
