grade 7 outdoor ed & leadership At Cathedral School, we believe that environmental stewardship is a crucial aspect of becoming a socially responsible citizen. We believe that the best way to instill a sense of responsibility is to expose the boys to genuine and authentic outdoor opportunities. Not only does this promote respect for nature, but it is also a valuable tool for building camaraderie among the boys. As John Muir said, “God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools.” This year’s Grade 7 Outdoor Ed and Leadership Retreat will be to the South Fork of the American River near Placerville. Our primary activities will include discussing school leadership, a high ropes course, and two days of white water rafting!
