Day 6 Morning Session - Mt. Mansfield Hike

This morning the entire camp loaded up the bus and headed over to the Midway Lodge for a hike up Stowe. It was a new and exciting hike for most of the campers. Although challenging, the sense of accomplishment at the top was well worth it.

The hike started off with some single track, and a lot of quick vertical. The trail featured a lot of cool stepping stone rocks, and a few water crossing. It weaved its way through the woods, occasionally crossing some of the Stowe cut trails until filtering out onto Nosedive. Then most of the campers hiked Nosedive to the top of the quad as the clouds started to clear. You could see most of Stowe village! It was a great hike down as the weather continued to clear. Hiking is a great cap to our week, as it is a fun activity that brings together all the elements that we have talked about this week.




This afternoon we will be doing some conditioning screening with the older kids while the younger kids work on some skill development and play some games!

It has been a great week thanks for tuning in!
