Big and First Lodge Trips - Farm & Wilderness

Written by Kory Mathis | July 29, 2010

After today, all camper except Senior Lodge are out on trips.

A1 campers are all on overnights to local shelters on part of the 640 acres of property F&W owns around our camps on the Woodward Reservoir. This is a good introduction to camping and is also helps the cabin to bond well.

The First Lodge cabin of Sycamore are all on a two night adventure on Lake Ninevah, which involves camping, hiking and canoeing. Also a good chance for that cabin to get to know each other better.

For Big Lodgers, their trips include:

– “Richardson Lake Canoeing” – Canoeing in Maine.
– “Skyrunners” A local athletic hike along Pico-Killington-Shrewsbury
– Ninevah Shelter Build – Continuing the 100% camper-constructed new shelter at Lake Ninevah, a mile from Saltash Mountain Camp.
– Silverlake Climb – a trip to our favorite local climbing area, complete with a lake to swim in.
Little Rock Pond – A great introduction to hiking the Long Trail, with days of about 5 miles, and nice swimming areas.
Service Trip – To The Meeting School in New Hampshire, where there is Farm work and light construction to help with.

Last session, many campers most proud moments came from their experiences on the trail, so we look forward to hearing from them when they arrive back on Saturday and Sunday.
