Outdoorsman Michael Koral will lead a one of a kind, outdoor adventure program at St. Mary’s Academy Adventures this summer. This program will include white water rafting (dependent on weather conditions), hiking, canoeing, and bike riding which will take place all around the greater Denver area. The coolest part is campers will be exploring areas like Denver, Golden, Boulder, Idaho Springs, and still be home in time for dinner. What makes this program unique is that campers do not just hike, they learn about outdoor adventure skills while they hike. Over the course of this two-week adventure, campers will be able to acquire skills such as cooking in the outdoors, orienteering, how to change a bike tire, pitching a tent, and the importance of “leave no trace.” Over the years, Michael Koral has learned and utilized these skills while doing weeklong camping trips in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, New York’s Adirondack Mountains, and he has also acquired vital knowledge through the completion of numerous marathons and an Ironman Triathlon. Michael has a great passion for educating the leaders of tomorrow and has been teaching physical education for the past 6 years. The great outdoors is truly a special gift that we are lucky enough to have right in our backyard so come join Michael on a fun-filled adventure. You must be physically fit for this class.
