core values of respect, responsibility
and honesty put into effect in real-life
situations. To me, our Caminatas have
become the perfect metaphor for a Los
Nogales education: a thoughtful mix of
hard work, commitment, love, joy and
service.
After a year in which the future of
outdoor education in Colombia was called into question and fell under great
public scrutiny, I am happy to report
that the Caminatas program at Los Nogales is stronger than ever. In the last
year we extended the program for all
preschool students to include an overnight experience on campus utilizing
Zasqua and our incredible installations. We redesigned and implemented
a new hike for 7th grade to the Ama-

11

zon, and will be releasing a video of this
new program in the coming days. For
2015/2016, we have organized a new
4th grade trip to Santander, and will be
formally incorporating the 11th grade
excursion into the Caminatas program.
In addition, we will offer two new hikes,
one for parents in the first semester, and
the second for families in the following
semester. Alumni, stand by!
In conclusion, please enjoy the images
and words captured on the following
pages. And, thank you for your past
and ongoing support and belief in this
important program ◉
