Outpost sets out for a Wawayanda First

08/04/2015

Outpost Village has embarked on a two-night adventure, taking their overnight to the next level. Traditionally, campers experience a one night overnight, but the young men of Outpost Village have been given a new choice this summer. Campers have either chosen a one night or a two night overnight. The two-night overnight is the first two night overnight that Wawayanda has experienced in the Wawa that it is today.

The boys who have chosen to embark on the longer journey will be hiking from Main Camp over Wildcat Mountain to Frost Valley’s Farm Camp, and then from the Farm to Merrell Pavilion, Frost Valley’s destination overnight. The boys will be spending two nights out on Frost Valley property, hiking on our beautiful trails, learning outdoor living skills, sleeping under the stars and adventuring together in the mountains.

We are so proud of these boys for making history with what they are accomplishing! We promise to send updates and pictures and are so excited to share the stories when they return!

Peace, Love, and Adventure,
Lindsay
