Throughout the academic year, New Horizons Outdoor Adventure Leadership Programoffers a wide variety of adventure programs for the Lynchburg College community. Rock climbing, backpacking, hiking, canoeing, horseback riding, tree climbing, and caving trips are open to the students, faculty, staff, families of the College, and the general Lynchburg community. Programs are instructed by New Horizons student facilitators. We also work with outside groups to set up programs for kayaking, canoeing, and SCUBA.
