2022 Fall Quarter Adventure Trips
___________________________________________________________________________
Redwoods Group
September 17 & 18: Canoe expedition on Lake James. One of the best ways to travel! In a canoe with all your gear and good friends. The girls will paddle across the lake to their campsite – lots of fun along the way, plus all the good times at camp. This is a key trip for developing camp craft skills as well as canoeing skills with loaded boats.
October 8th: Climbing day trip up to our favorite spot. There’s a lot of great climbs for different levels and the girls will also be working on their belay and overall safety skills.
November 19: Mountain biking adventure day. This will be the culminating trip of the mountain biking experience the Redwoods will be working on this Fall at their meetings. Getting out onto the trail together to showcase their new bike handling skills.

Oaks Group
October 2: Climbing day trip: The Oaks will be climbing outdoors on real rock, which is always an awesome experience. The spot we’re going is beginner friendly and everyone will have an opportunity to climb and belay. There’s a lot of fun exploring we can do in this spot once we’ve finished climbing.
November 13: Adventure day trip. There are many adventurous options for this trip. These trips are so good for skill acceleration and connecting with other girls in the group. (We will update this description once it has been finalized.)

Saplings Group
October 2: The Saplings will be exploring the Pink Beds near the Cradle of Forestry. A truly unique place with lots to see and do.
November 6: This experience is still to be decided based on what the girls are interested in doing (we will update as we find out)

Boys Groups
The boys groups are the Wolves & Foxes (Foxes meet Wed & Wolves Thurs). Weekend trips will be combined for both groups, so space will be limited. We will always offer enough trips to ensure every boy gets a spot on at least one adventure.
September 24 & 25th: Backpacking adventure. This is a full weekend trip. The boys will hike in about a mile with their backpacks and set up camp. After lunch, we’ll head off on a fun day hike exploration of the area. This will be our first overnight trip with this group since 2019! So lots of new skills to practice and develop.
**November 5th – Adventure day trip. We’ll plan this mountain adventure together with the group. The boys will use all their navigation skills to make it through successfully, as well as some other fun challenges we may add in like travelling off trail.
**November 12th – Adventure day trip. This trip will be the same as the trip on the 5th.
(**Please don’t sign up for both these **dates.) We want to make sure all the boys get a chance to come out on an adventure)

Older Teen Group
September 10 & 11: Canoe expedition on Lake Santeetlah. This is one of the most beautiful lakes in WNC with beautifully clear, clean water. It’s been a few years since we’ve been, so it will be amazing to go back. Paddle in to our campsite, possibly on an island and enjoy fall weekend of paddling adventure.
October 15: Climbing day trip. We’ve got several options where to go, so the group can decide on what type of experience they would enjoy. Always amazing to be out climbing in mid October with the fall scenery!
