WHAT IS OUTDOOR ADVENTURE AT SOUTHWESTERN?

At Southwestern, learning doesn’t stop in the classroom. Our Outdoor Adventure program takes you out into the world—whether you’re summiting Mount Kilimanjaro, backpacking the Grand Canyon, or paddling Texas rivers. Each experience is designed to challenge you, build leadership, and deepen your sense of purpose.

Led by Branndon Bargo, Explorers Club member and host of Highpointers on Amazon and PBS, these adventures are anything but ordinary. Branndon has led expeditions in over 50 countries, raced in some of the world’s toughest endurance events, scuba dived with great white sharks, and set a world record by climbing the seven tallest peaks in Central America in just 12 days. And he now brings his passion for growth and discovery to Southwestern students.

Come explore what you’re capable of.
