A Day in the Life
What can you expect when you wake up on our mountain side campus? What experiences and challenges will you tackle and overcome? What adventures are you going to have? During The 10 Day Matanuska Adventure Expedition you will have the opportunity to experience:
- Ice Climbing on the Matanuska Glacier with MICA Guides
- Learning how to use gear
- “Dialing in” the challenges of living remotely
- Learning how to read a map
- Introduction to Wilderness First Aid Skills
- Backpacking in the Talkeetna mountains
- Building Community through Empathy, Collaboration and Communication
You’ll become more reliant on yourself, and less reliant on your phone.
