We have a tradition at BCS whereby students who perform well academically and have showcased positive habits of working and learning (HOWLs) get an opportunity to go to Brooklyn Boulders to practice rock climbing and then spend the afternoon with free lunch and activities at NYC Outward Bound headquarters. It really is a lot of fun to watch them be challenged in this way and I enjoy going. It's really different when students who perform at a high level get a chance to interact just amongst themselves without distraction from others who might not. I was glad to go and had a lot of fun myself.
