Patagonia - Spring Semester

Explore the most beautiful mountains and rivers in the world – earning college credit while you experience trekking, climbing, mountaineering, whitewater guiding and paddling, and cultural exchange.

Scramble over snowfields, kayak through Chile’s magical turquoise rivers and visit the oldest ecotourism area in Patagonia to learn firsthand about an environmental fight in progress – a giant hydropower company threatening the rivers and livelihood of thousands. You’ll learn just what you need to know to plan and lead international expeditions while practicing environmental and civic responsibility, effective leadership and communication styles, and group decision-making and teamwork – all while creating friendships that will last a lifetime.
