It's official, summer has started!!! We welcomed our participants and campers yesterday, and even though our weather pattern has been a bit wet of late it didn't show on kids faces. All day we saw smiles and lots of excitement. This morning we sent out 7 expeditions to the far reaches of the state. Our Thoreau Trip is headed to the St John River to begin a 7 week expedition that will paddle some of the most historic and scenic stretches of water the state has to offer. Our sailors and sea kayakers will be heading out after some skills training and will be paddling or sailing their way toward Acadia and Penobscot Bay. The whitewater kayakers headed to both the Rapid River, and the Penobscot River. For the first time ever we are ecstatic that we have an all girls whitewater kayaking group up at our Big Eddy campus. We've also got a group headed to the Appalachian Trail, and another that will start their canoe trip on the West Branch of the Penobscot River.
Over all it's been a wonderful start to our summer. Our staff is made up of some great people, with a huge variety of backgrounds and experiences. Please stay tuned to the blog as the summer rolls on, we will be updating you with pictures and stories as often as they come in from the field.
