PED 107 - Hiking (ACT)
Hiking is an introductory course on hiking basics with an emphasis on setting up an exercise program, reading and planning routes, personal safety, and health benefits. All Cecil College Physical Education courses are designed to provide educational opportunities that empower students to practice lifelong positive health behaviors. In particular, this course will prepare students to experience several local hikes where they can apply basic hiking skills. Additional topics to be covered include: basic compass and/or map use, food and water guidelines, Leave No Trace principles, treatment of common hiking injuries, clothing/equipment considerations and daypack essentials. Students will be required to complete hikes at trail locations regionally. Students must provide their own transportation to trail locations. While previous hiking experience is not required, the physical ability to navigate moderately difficult terrains is strongly advised.
