 Horseback Riding at Dartmouth Riding Center
During Summer Session, students will be riding at the Dartmouth Riding Center at the Morton Farm in Etna, NH. This fine, long-established riding center offers lessons and boarding for Dartmouth students and staff, as well as community children and adults. In addition, the Dartmouth College Intercollegiate Riding team trains out of this facility.
Oliverian riders will spend Sunday afternoons at Morton Farm, enjoying one-hour lessons. Each lesson will include horse prep, riding, and horse/barn care. Students do not need prior riding experience. Interested students will enroll in horseback riding as one of their supplementary activities once core academic courses are chosen.
 Martials Arts
Joe Champagne, Sensei, head instructor of USA Karate of Woodsville and Littleton, NH, brings eight years of martial arts training and seven years of boxing training to this invigorating class. Students will learn techniques from two traditional Japanese art forms, Jujitsu and Kenpo. Throughout the course, students will gain flexibility, confidence and self-control, learn self-defense methods, enjoy an energizing workout, and have fun. Students should wear comfortable clothing that does not restrict movement (t-shirt and sweatpants or long athletic shorts are suitable; Gi is completely optional). Students will be barefoot in class, so no shoes are required. Interested students will enroll in martial arts as one of their supplementary activities once core academic courses are chosen.
