Did you know Mt. Mansfield is the tallest mountain in Vermont? Well, today after lunch all SDSC campers summited the chin on Mt. Mansfield! We split up into multiple groups based on hiking ability and age. The oldest group of campers made it all the way to the summit and back down, only stopping for a few quick water breaks and a snack at the top. The second group made it less than five minutes from the top but had to turn around to make the bus. The third group made it to the top of nosedive which is a famous ski racing trail and crosses about 80% of the way to the top. The youngest group, Switzerland, usually doesn't get to hike Mt. Mansfield and instead they go on a more manageable hike for their size. This time, however, we bussed them partway up so they were able to hike all the way to the "chin" which is the highest point in the state of Vermont. We even picked up some quartz rocks to share with the camp on our hike down. We got a great photo of almost all of camp up at the summit, Lots of tired faces and legs but we're looking forward to whatever Eric has planned for us with the scavenger hunt!
