High Rocks-Mountain SOL partnership

Located in Morgantown, West Virginia, Mountain SOL School is an outdoor education non-profit focused on nature awareness, stewardship and outdoor leadership. Our classes are more than just lesson plans taught outside- they are engaging, fully immersed experiences. We emphasize passion, personal responsibility, and leadership skills to guide our next generation on the path of building a more just and resilient Appalachia. Mountain SOL School is about connection- connection to oneself, connection to friends, to community, and to the greater circle of life. We strive to give students the opportunity to learn not only practical skills and knowledge such as wilderness survival skills and concepts of nature and the environment, but also teamwork, leadership, and a passion to protect the natural world and cultivate a community of support and acceptance Our classes are hands-on and allow for unstructured time in the woods as well as experiences in stewardship and self-led exploration. Our programs teach skills and knowledge across 4 broad categories of outdoor and environmental education.
