outdoor leadership

For three weeks during the summer after their senior year in high school, Morehead-Cain Scholars participate in outdoor leadership courses in wilderness locations across the nation. The courses teach them valuable teamwork and survival skills while enhancing their confidence and their appreciation for luxuries and comforts that are often taken for granted. After pushing themselves to their limits both physically and mentally, Scholars are ready to take on the challenges of college life and their commitment to UNC with renewed vigor and determination.
