Gillette College announces Spear-O-Wigwam Mountain Campus schedule
Gillette College is looking forward to the second season of activity at the Spear-O Wigwam Mountain Campus.
“The purpose of our Mountain Campus is to enhance existing academic programming as well as provide new opportunities for students and the community,” said Campus Director, Micah Olsen. “In addition to the menu of courses and lectures open to the public we are thrilled to have included in our full schedule groups of students and educators from our region coming to Spear-O for various educational activities. This is exactly the intent and we can’t wait for the summer to arrive.”
Events happening throughout the summer include a full menu of Learn Outdoors courses open to the public, leadership workshops, small group activities, a series of three mountain lectures, educational retreats and skills training.
“We are excited about the menu of courses available this summer,” said Learn Outdoors Coordinator, Julie Davidson. “We had so much positive feedback after our short season last year; it was easy to craft this year’s menu . We invite everyone to surrender to what nature can teach you; embrace the experience of learning out of doors – enjoy the absence of a computer and a desk and let the experience be your textbook!”
