Ritt Kellogg Mountain Program
Our lush surroundings—Mount Everett (Elev. 2,602 ft.), Guilder Pond, forests, and meadows—offer a classroom like no other. An alternative afternoon program to traditional team sports, RKMP gets students outside and into the natural beauty of our surroundings, offering everything from hiking and biking to backcountry skiing, canoeing, and rock climbing. Through outdoor adventures and leadership training, students build confidence, resilience, and a deep appreciation for the environment.

Students may participate in RKMP programs in lieu of a competitive sport. Programs run for approximately eight weeks, or the duration of each athletic season. Generally, a student need not have any wilderness experience, and most of the needed equipment is provided by the RKMP. Ultimately, this program gives students memorable experiences by exposing them to uncertain outcomes and acceptable risks through the exploration of exciting, yet unfamiliar cultures and environments.
