Led by Ben Brock, Riverstone’s Outdoor Program Director, and Jami Whitmer, Spanish teacher, our intrepid backpackers are looking forwarding to escaping the valley’s heat as they embark upon an eight day excursion along the spine of the Sawtooth Mountains. Now how cool is that??

Ben Brock sends us this note from the Grade 6 spring trip….
Brrrrrr!
Despite these 6 inches of snow, the 6th graders had a great day in
Harriman State Park today.
Joel Kaserman spotted a Grizzly Bear and everyone got to see it! Word
is that there might even be some video coming home with the group
tomorrow.
Speaking of coming home, the group is aiming to be back at Riverstone
by 3:30 and will be on the road early so they can take their time on
the roads. Robyn will update me from Blackfoot and Twin Falls as they
get closer. I will pass on updates to you as I get them.
Sounds like this has been a wonderful experience for the kids and for
the teachers, who can’t wait to get back again next year!

The winter outdoor season has started at Riverstone with the traditional Gd8, three-day snow shoe trip. Snow, snow and more snow was order of the first day, but the students still made incredible progress…..even Mrs Elam who had to have an extra sled just for her bed!

Over the next few years, Riverstone will be investing in a whole range of outdoor equipment that can be rented by students and families.
