ATHLETICS
Athletics is an essential component of Marvelwood's overall educational curriculum. The program seeks to teach and instruct students in the rules, fundamentals, and skills necessary to participate in various team and individual sports. Athletic participation provides both physical training and a suitable outlet for youthful energy. Competition within and between schools encourages principles of good sportsmanship and fair play, and fosters the spirit of amateur competition as well as school pride.
Marvelwood is a member of the Hudson Valley Athletic League (HVAL), as well as a member of the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC). Marvelwood competes in NEPSAC Class D for Boys Soccer, Boys Tennis, Girls Basketball, Girls Soccer, Girls Tennis and Girls Volleyball, Class C for Boys Basketball, Wrestling and Softball, Division 3 for Boys Lacrosse and Division 4 for Cross Country. Marvelwood has hosted the New England Division 4 Cross Country Championships two years in a row, in 2022 and 2023.

OUTDOOR ADVENTURES
The Outdoor Adventure (OA) Program includes all non-competitive outdoor activities available to students during the course of the year. OA offers students the opportunity for physical activity without the competition of traditional varsity and junior varsity sports. Students discover a love for the outdoors via the OA Program, build friendships, learn teamwork, and enjoy a great workout.
Outdoor Adventure Activities:
• Biking
• Hiking
• Canoeing
• Rock Climbing
• Skiing & Snowboarding
During the fall term the mountain bikers ride in, around and over Skiff Mountain here in Kent. The hiking program utilizes the nearby Appalachian Trail as well as Macedonia Brook State Park and Kent Falls State Park.
In the winter term the school offers students the opportunity to ski or snowboard at Mohawk Mountain Ski Area in Cornwall, only a short twenty minutes from campus.
During the spring term the School offers students the opportunity for rock climbing at St. John's Ledges and area ropes courses. The canoers utilize the nearby Housatonic River and its tributaries, and compete in local races.
