What’s CORE?

              CORE is an outdoor leadership program that teaches students both technical and soft skills.  Not only are CORE students taught skills in outdoor activities, like canyoneering and rock climbing, but are also taught leadership techniques, group development theory, and course programming among other topics.  Students spend about half the semester in the outdoors!
