Skiing and Snowboarding

North knows winter. Both our Johnson and Lyndon campuses are close to some of the Northeast’s premier resorts where you can enjoy the best of the season — and student discounts are available!

Rock Climbing

The valleys of northern Vermont make a thrilling playground for rock climbing adventures. Local rock climbing spots abound near both of our campuses and often serve as outdoor classrooms for students in our outdoor education programs.

Babcock Nature Preserve

Located in Eden, Vermont, near the NVU-Johnson campus, this 1,000-acre area of forest serves as an outdoor laboratory for field biology, ornithology, and environmental science courses, as well as a beautiful spot to get closer to nature.

Burke Mountain

Just 10 minutes from the NVU-Lyndon campus, Burke is the number one off-campus destination for many student skiers and riders.  Burke also serves as an important site for hands-on learning experiences for students in a variety of programs.

Kingdom Trails

This 100-mile trail system in East Burke, Vermont, near the NVU-Lyndon campus, Kingdom Trails is one of the best trail networks in the U.S. If you enjoy mountain biking, you’ll want to be sure to check out this trail system as soon as you get to campus.

Prospect Rock

Close to the NVU-Johnson campus, Prospect Rock is a 3.1 mile trail that ends in incredible views of the Lamoille Valley. It’s a favorite destination for our students out for a hike as well as those studying outdoor education, geology, and other academic interests.
