What is your favorite spot at Camp? Wolves Den
Why did you choose to work in Outdoor Education? I love the opportunity we get working in OE to not only get students out of the classroom and into nature, but their parents and teachers as well!

What is your favorite spot at Camp? Pine forest. Dock at the back end of the lake.
