This is one of the most commonly asked questions during course... so I'll take a stab at it now. I should say this isn't based on communication with the groups (we only do that in an emergency) but rather with their written route plan that maps out each day's route. Can't figure out which group your child is in? Click here to see the group list which also lists the name of each crew based on their starting trail.
Bondcliff: The most spectacular day for this group, up and over a long ridge above tree line. We had lots of plans for what to do if weather was bad today... looks like we won't need them!
Gilman's Corner: Long build up is the name of the game for this group heading to their big summit bid in a couple of days. Rolling hills on the Appalachian Trail and looking forward to a camp site on a lovely pond.
Gordon Pond: Short day today, but steep! This was the group I visited this morning. They will drop down into Kinsman Notch and then after lunch attempt the very steep Beaver Brook Trail. Their reward is two fold: a nice shelter and an easy summit day tomorrow.
Kinsman Notch: Ended the day yesterday high on their route, today they should be enjoying a hike over the summit of Mt. Moosilauke, one of the gems of the western Franconia Range.
Lincoln Woods: Camped off trail yesterday and today will be crossing Mt. Flume a lovely jagged peak on the eastern side of Franconia Notch. Big views and dramatic photo opportunities today.
Pemi Baker: The canoe trip put boats in the water today! First task will be canoe training before a short paddle to their camp ground.
Reel Brook: Camped last night at at the Reel Brook shelter and today will be crossing a short but steep peak before descending to one of my favorite high mountain ponds for the night.
