Archer Welcomes New Year with Experiential Education Programming
Archer welcomed the 2023-2024 school year with experiential education for all grades. From the mountains of Wyoming to the coast of Malibu, students swapped their polos for t-shirts and embraced the outdoors. It was a time for connection, reflection, and celebration.
6th-10th grade students participated in Fall Outing on the first Friday of the school year, Friday, August 25. Each grade’s Fall Outing was an opportunity for students to forge bonds with their mentorship groups, classmates, and teachers while spending time outdoors.
The Class of 2030 traveled to Franklin Canyon Park in Beverly Hills, where students engaged in ground team building to foster trust, effective communication, and leadership amongst their peers. The Class of 2029 learned similar skills while also engaging in high ropes in Camp Gilmore in Calabasas.
Both the Class of 2028 and 2027 engaged in high ropes team-building and ground team-building with the live wolves of Temescal Canyon Gateway Park in Pacific Palisades.
The Class of 2026 enjoyed their last days of summer weather at Leo Carillo Beach in Malibu, where they participated in water activities and team building.
Juniors celebrated the start of the school year by traveling to Lander, Wyoming for their class’s last ever Arrow Week expedition. Students spent a technology-free week in nature backpacking through the Rocky Mountains.
This year’s Senior Trip took our 12th grade students to the San Bernardino Mountains from Thursday, August 24 - Friday, August 25. While staying overnight at Camp Cedar Lake in Big Bear, seniors engaged in team building, high and low ropes courses, hiking, water activities, and outdoor education, including the exploration of various field sciences like geology and astronomy.
