About This Activity
This backpacking trip is designed for teens 14 to 17 years of age that have attended our Otter Clan backpacking trip or have mid-level experience. The Deer trip bridges the gap between our introductory and advanced trips. Teens have the opportunity to hone backpacking abilities as they learn from instructors and share their skills with peers, all while deepening personal connection with nature in the beautiful Appalachian mountains. The orientation and gear check meeting for this trip will be determined at a later date, but will be held during the week of June 3-7. This is an opportunity for campers to meet their instructors, each other, and to learn about the adventure they are about to take! Campers are required to bring their gear to get it checked and fitted and can ask any questions they may have. The van will leave Leigh Farm Park on the Monday morning of the trip and will return Friday. Arrival time on Friday will depend on when the group arrives at their final hiking location. Counselors will let us know an ETA when they leave after lunch.
