GO OUTSIDE!

The hikers circumnavigate Lake Hennessey
Twice a week, for blocks of two hours or more, the whole Oxbow community goes outside. Because, as we know, OUTSIDE LIES MAGIC. Here in the Ox-Bubble we call P.E. classes "Co-curriculars," and each semester we offer a slightly different menu of choices. OS29 has been getting their kicks in outdoors doing invigorating activities like biking, hiking, ultimate disc-ing, yoga-ing, gardening, and adventuring on foot around Napa. Co-curriculars are a great time to re-energize the senses and wake up the brain cells, and students get to engage with faculty outside of the classroom.

I really can't tell you what these folks are doing...
