Summer Field Studies Bishop Chatard juniors and seniors are invited to join Roncalli High School in an incredible summer trip where we will experience the wonders of God's creation at the Grand Canyon in Arizona along with the majestic San Juan Mountains of Colorado.

Summer Field Study is a class that is offered for academic credit through Roncalli's Physical Education department. Participants have climbed mountains in Colorado, backpacked through the Alaskan wilderness, hiked across the Grand Canyon, rafted down the Rio Grande, bicycled from Indiana to the coast of Maine, and enjoyed the mystical sights and sounds of Yellowstone National Park. Amazingly, over 2,100 students have participated in this program over the past 28 years. Many say it is two of the most powerfully inspirational weeks of their life. The goals of this course of study are as follows:

• To appreciate and experience the wonder and grandeur of God's creation
• To recognize the wonder and grandeur in each person God has created
• To cultivate a sense of self-respect in each student
• To develop the confidence and full leadership potential of each student
• To teach students to have the courage and conviction to follow their dreams.

If you would like additional information, please e-mail Stephanie Theis at stheis@bishopchatard.org. We are expecting a truly invigorating journey!
