|  | Experience Summer at Cardigan's CORE
The CORE Summer Program Objective
Using the natural world as our classroom, the purpose of CORE is to instill in boys a lifelong passion for the outdoors while developing the necessary skills to fully pursue this passion for a lifetime. CORE seeks to challenge boys to reach deep within themselves to discover who they are and how they relate to the natural world.
CORE offers a variety of expedition experiences for different skill levels and interests.
ALL WEEK LONG CORE EXPEDITIONS ARE ONLY $720 PER STUDENT FOR 2012!
