Classmates Hone Collaboration, Communication in Purposeful Outdoor Exercise

In a summer class that began as many of their friends were leaving campus for a breather, 11 students in LaRue R. Reese's Outdoor Recreation as a Therapeutic Tool class – a mix of applied human services and occupational therapy assistant majors – traveled to Montoursville's Indian Park on Thursday. Reese, wrapping up more than a quarter-century as a faculty member, terms it a "toolbox course – they gain a whole bunch of tools they can employ in their career." Among the activities was the Mohawk Walk, in which the students rely on one another to navigate taut ropes suspended just above the ground.
