Community Life
The small size of each Castle Rock group makes attention to issues of community and group dynamics central to life at the Institute. Students spend a great deal of time together-- eating meals, taking classes, going on outdoor trips, studying and preparing for class, just hanging out. Consequently, it is important that everyone develop strategies for getting along-- choosing to act responsibly, make decisions that benefit the group as a whole, and be honest in their interactions with others.
Building a sense of community, allowing for effective leadership, and realizing the kind of positive relationships this entails-- the friendship, support, encouragement and trust --helps improve every other aspect of life during the program.
