Expert coaching, many disciplines, and the naturally wondrous playground known as the Blue Ridge Mountains.

The origin of the Christ School Outdoor Program can be traced back to the 1970s, and it really came into its own in the 1990s under Greenie Legend Leigh Harris. Today, the program is more adventurous and robust than ever.

The mountains are calling and Nate Wilbderding ’25 must climb them.

Nate had never touched a rock face of any kind until the winter of his junior year, the kind of experimentation that is encouraged by Christ School’s Outdoor Program. He has progressed to the point where Nate has qualified for June’s USA Climbing National Bouldering Championship in Portland.
