Reach the Beach & REACH Day Field Trips
On September 18-19, Salem Academy will take part in Reach the Beach (RTB)—a 200+ mile Ragnar Relay across New Hampshire where a dedicated team of staff and supporters run day and night to raise funds for student programming.
While the team is running, all 480 students and staff will participate in REACH Day—a full day of off-campus, team-building field trips designed to foster community, promote wellness, and kick off the school year on a positive note. Students will take part in activities like ropes courses, nature hikes, and other experiences that strengthen relationships, build confidence, and set the tone for the year ahead.
Funds raised during RTB and REACH Day support much more than one event—they sustain year-round opportunities like no-user-fee athletics, enrichment clubs, wellness initiatives, and college and career readiness programming. Help us REACH our fundraising goal
