Are you looking for something different? Or maybe you're having a hard time matching the classes you want with the ones you need. This program may be able to help.

The Extreme Physical Education program was created to help high school students complete their physical education (PE) requirements while giving them opportunities to explore activities outside of the usual high school curriculum such as archery, mountain biking, kayaking, and Project COPE - a ropes course.

All sessions are held at Camp Greenough, a 300-acre property in Yarmouth Port owned by the Cape Cod & Islands Council, Boy Scouts of America. The program gives participants an overview of four different areas:

• Archery
• Project COPE
• Mountain Biking
• Kayaking

Participants will be divided into groups of no more than 12 per group. Each day will be devoted to a different subject. Two instructors will work with each group.

This program is scheduled to take place after school hours. Participation may allow students to free up a class period during school hours that may have been needed for a PE class. Check with your school's guidance department for more information. This increases the opportunity for other academic subjects.

This particular program is part of a subsidiary corporation of the Boy Scouts of America called Learning for Life and is open to students in grades 8-11.

The following schools have agreed to offer credit for participation in this program:

• Dennis-Yarmouth High School
