Quest is a Leadership Development program at Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania serving state system students along with the greater community throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. Quest has been in operation since the early 70’s, we now have over 30 years of outstanding reputation in the region. Quest offers exciting, educational courses, mostly at the beginner and intermediate level, in Pennsylvania, the United States, Africa, South and Central America and Europe. People of all ages and backgrounds participate. Many Quest programs are designed for businesses, groups and organizations who ask us to schedule courses to meet the special needs of their members. Activities range from team development for community groups and high school faculties to strategic planning for corporations to rock climbing and caving for schools and scout groups. Our facilities at Bloomsburg University include both a static and dynamic high ropes course, a low ropes course, climbing tower, a fully portable array of games and initiatives, and workshop modules including leadership, communication and conflict resolution. Roy Smith, Quest’s Director Emeritus, recently returned from leading a group in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona. The team consisted of six CEO’s from Canada interested in exploring challenge in a new way and how it would relate to their leadership roles. The culminating event was the ascent of Weavers Needle -a fourth and fifth class climb. Roy was ably assisted by Robert Miller and Jayson Simon-Jones, two fantastic people to have on his team. Check out the ’superstitions’ gallery on Roy’s site by clicking this line. Can you see your leadership team out there now pursuing an adventure like this? Think of the discussion possibilities. Willi Unsoeld was one of the pioneers of our industry and had a very interesting life. OutdoorEd.com recently posted a great video of him speaking about “The Spirutal Values of Wilderness”.
On Saturday November 7th, Bloomsburg University’s Student Rec. Center will host it’s 2nd annual bouldering competition. Beginners and experts alike are encouraged to come out and compete to win prizes and have a good time. Sign ups for the competition are $15 in advance and $20 the day of, so get signed up as soon as possible. To get registration forms, visit the Rec Center or contact Jen White at jwhit2@bloomu.edu. Student employees are busy at work all week setting up the wall for the comp and this event is sure to be a great time. If you need more information on the competition, you can get everything on their facebook page by clicking HERE. Even if you are not planning on getting on the boulder, we encourage everyone to come out and enjoy the event and cheer on their favorite climbers. The employees at “Backpacker Magazine” are becoming known for the unconventional, yet effect, way in which they test the latest gear. Instead of the strenuous job of taking the new equipment into the woods and testing it over a long period of time, they get right to the point with quick, creative alternatives. In this video, they take four brand new tents to a car wash and turn on the pressure washer to get an expedited result to how weather proof they really are. |
