2011 Wilderness Skill Builder Session A

06/29/2011

Hey Everyone At Home!

Wilderness Skill Builder is off to a great start! After hiking up Table and Peekamoose Mountain Monday and Tuesday – enjoying the beautiful weather- the group came back to main camp just in timefor a massive thunderstorm last night. The group did well (although they were up late listening to the rumbles of thunder and flashing of lights) and were really proud that they stay in their tents the whole night! Most of them have decided that they are glad they did the backpacking, but once might be enough for now and they are really looking forward to canoeing because they don’t have to carry their gear. 🙂

They left main camp again this morning around 9:30 AM to head down to the Deleware River for their paddling portion of the trip and will be returning again tomorrow evening.

Zach loves all forms of Wilderness exploration, though some would say his heart lies most with canoeing.
