Hikers Depart for the Mountains

After months of planning and anticipation the day has finally arrived for our students to head into the woods. We all met in the gym and Mr. Menke started us off with a warm up activity in which we did a 'victory lap' around the gym chanting and whooping it up.


He then shared some words of wisdom and his thoughts on the expedition. It was great that he could take the time to visit with the Sophomores and see them off on their adventure.

Camping must be in the air. On my way over to the gym to get started I ran into two juniors who had camped out on the lower field. A nice night out, until the sprinklers had come on!

Two of our instructors were goofing around this morning. They have a small group so they don't need to take out our new big tents. I'm sure they don't want to carry the large tents, but it looks like they are a little sad anyway.

All the groups are out in the field except the Mayhew Crew which will depart tomorrow morning. Looks like a good start so far!
