Benefits
It might not seem like taking classes at Powder Ridge could have mental health benefits, but being outside even in the winter is a good way to get some vitamin D. Vitamin D builds bones and keeps you strong for all of these outdoor activities. It’s also a great way to get exercise even with a Minnesota winter. At Powder Ridge all you do is build your legs and some arm strength!
Another benefit is that you get to hang with friends and meet new people who have similar interests as you and it’s a good way to socialize and mingle. It’s also great to meet people from other schools who have something in common with you.
