The Department of Physical Education offers a variety of programs reflecting the College's commitment to the ideals of a liberal arts education. Our goal is to contribute to the physical, social, mental and emotional well-being of students, enriching their holistic learning experiences and building lifelong habits of good health.
Courses offered range from traditional sports such as tennis and golf to classes that take advantage of the Vermont landscape such as Nordic and alpine skiing as well as mountain biking. Certain classes such as skiing, yoga, meditation, martial arts, First Aid/CPR, pilates and horseback riding are taught by professional instructors and require an additional fee. Please contact 802Pilates directly for class schedules and any questions.
