Upcoming Student Adventures

---

Adventurers. We hike. We bike. We crawl into caves, climb rocks, snowboard, shoot each other with paintballs, paddle rapids, and eat s’mores. And you are invited to join us!

Here’s how it works. Check out our slate of adventures planned for this semester. See one that you like and hit that register now button and say, “I’m IN!”. Once you’re on the trip list, we’ll reply, “LET’S DO THIS!”.

Join us as we hike, crawl, climb, slide, roll, and wiggle our way through Worley’s Cave. This Tennessee cave is  known for its voluminous size with rooms more than 75 feet wide and 250 feet long with high ceilings that often exceeds 100 feet. It is noted for its beautiful formations within its miles of passages. 

The lower level of the cave contains a perennial creek complete with various fishes, white crayfish, and salamanders. We will explore rooms like the Hobbit's Hallway, the Fairy's Ballroom, Tombstone, Giant's Causeway, Thin Floor Room, the Hall of Masks, base camp, and the Bermuda triangle.

You will get wet on this adventure! This trip involves hiking, climbing (bouldering-style), crawling, and wading through knee to thigh deep creek water, so general physical fitness is advised. No previous caving experience required. This is a great trip for anyone curious about caving!

Walters State will provide helmets, headlamps, and guide services through the cave. Students are responsible for all food costs.

Registration is closed. Stay tuned for the next trip in April!

The Adventurers are heading to Frozen Head State Park to take on the East Lookout Tower Trail. Not only will we climb a fire tower with 360 degree views, but we will also check out an old prison mine from the Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary days. 

Frozen Head State Park and Natural Area encompasses more than 24,000 acres of wilderness area and is named for a 3,324-foot peak in the Cumberland Mountains, the top of which is often shrouded in ice or snow in the winter months. The impressive entrance leads visitors into a vestige of densely forested, unspoiled mountain splendor — once common throughout the Cumberland Plateau.

This trip will also include a stop for lunch.There is no trip fee for this one, but students are responsible for all food costs.
