The outdoors are a huge part of an NCS education. Outdoor activities range from the academic (earth science research on the snowpack), work related (shoveling fire exits and harvesting crops), artistic (watercolor paintings of landscapes and photograph of farm animals), to recreational (everything from ice climbing to ice fishing and hiking to horseback riding). For more information on this subject I would point you to Richard Louv’s recent book Last Child in the Woods.
While my snapshot yesterday from the top of the Lake Hill may have given you an over view of the skating, sledding, and ice fishing to be had ... nothing like a close-up. The trout was 13 inches, possibly the largest an NCS student has ever caught here!
