Each year, during the month of May, all Crefeld students participate in a week-long Spring Mini Course of their choosing. Choices include local and out-of-town courses, some of which require overnight stays. These courses are designed to build community and to foster success in a setting outside of school, through experiential learning.

Examples of past Spring Mini Courses include:

• Fashion Design

• Local Adventure Sports

• Glass Casting Intensive

• California Redwoods Leadership Trip

• Roots of American Music: Nashville and Memphis

• Colonial Williamsburg and Washington, D.C.

• Hiking the Appalachian Trail
