[quote=Anonymous]CC mom here. The breaks do not have to be expensive. Sure, some kids do extravagant things (the way they do at a host of other schools - there will always be plenty of kids with disposable income) but CC offers a ton of heavily subsidized (read virtually free) backpacking, hiking, climbing, etc trips that are very popular. The block breaks are only four days and lots of kids are tired and just stay on campus and chill - there's programming for that as well. in terms of finances, the school is very financially supportive of individual research and travel/experiential projects, which I don't think is the case at other places. I've read a lot of the commentary about the students being woke and monied and I only partially agree with them My child is neither, although the woke-ness is hard to miss. The school is large enough that you can still find your own peeps and if you want to jet to cabo for block break you absolutely can, but the majority of kids are going to be learning how to rock climb on the school's dime, or something similar. You can't really escape the outdoorsy-ness; that's a feature, not a bug, of the CC experience as most kids are really into being outside. [/quote]
