Personal Outdoor Discovery Series

This semester, Mountain Alliance has started new programs called the Personal Outdoor Discovery Series (or PODS). These are geared to students who have an interest in an in depth learning of different outdoor skills and activities. PODS are a five week commitment, in which a student goes on one trip a week pertaining to their specific interest. At the end of each Personal Outdoor Discovery Series there is an two day weekend trip in which all the students participating have a chance to utilize and practice their newly taught skills. We have 5 PODS going out this semester; a climbing POD, two backpacking POD's, a mountain biking POD, and an outdoor photography POD. We will keep you updated with separate blogs going out for each trip of all the PODS.
