The Outing Club 7th graders enjoyed an overnight at HVNC this past weekend and were able to take advantage of (what will hopefully be) the last of the snow! They hiked 1.5 miles out to the Pond Cabin for the night, cooked their own meals on camp stoves, made s'mores and stayed warm with the woodstove, played plenty of card games, and generally bonded through a shared experience. Thanks to the Mid Coast Parkview Health – Lincoln Health Community Health Improvement Fund Grant for funding the gear and cabin rentals, to Mr Anderson, Ms Madden, and Mr Suttmeier who led the two overnight trips, and to all of the students who made the trips the successes that they were!
