VAHS MTB Race 2

Rappahanok @ Remington 4ft

Woodberry Forest's Rapidan Program headed out on Tuesday to paddle the Rappahanok again.  This time we used the WMA's alternate put in which resulted in a fantastic shorter run of all of the good stuff.  The river level was 4ft (which was a good bit different than Friday), however, still a great time. 

III Form Ropes Course Day 2

Another batch of III Form students came out to the ropes course today for a great day of fun and bonding.  The instructors did a great job of providing a memorable experience for the guys.  Only one more group to go and the entire IIIrd and IVth Forms at Woodberry Forest will have went through the course this year!

White Oak Canyon

The Woodberry Forest Rapidan program headed out to White Oak Canyon the other day for some hiking and polar plunging!  The water was cold, however, the boys still wanted to get in.  Ultimatly, it was a great way to spend a Tuesday afternoon.

 

Slacklining

The Rapidan guys split into two groups today: Group 1) Went on a wildflower identification walk with Mrs. Dickson and Group 2) Tried their hand at slacklining.  The 80 degree temperatures are doing a lot to increase everyone's spirits!

VAHS MTB Race 2

The Woodberry Forest Riding Tigers headed out to the Blue Ridge School for a fantasic display of high school mtn bike riding.  The shorter style course had the Varsity racers doing four laps and the JV guys doing two.  All of the Woodberry guys really put it on the line out there.  The race was very fun to watch and a huge congrats to the guys for their effort.  Look for the guys at the next race in Williamsburg VA!
