There is a class unit which is a while class study around which the overnight trips are planned. Among so many other details. If you want more, let me know & perhaps we can talk via e-mail?

My biggest walking trip, I think, was to NYC. Although we used the subway, there was lots of walking! You're right, though, for some students, being outdoors was a joy. There is so much to learn about over days of experiences. Our lives just don't usually include those long stretches anymore.
