Sports & Outdoor Clubs
Sports and Outdoors clubs are a great way to get out into the world and move your body. The many clubs and sports teams at this level of competition allow students to play hard without the added pressures that can come from being on the official school team. Outdoor clubs allow for students to get connected with nature and all its beauty as well as build relationships with people who share the same passion about the beauty of God’s work.
