BELHS Day 1: Training
































"We shall not cease from exploration, and at the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time." T.S. Eliot

We would like to heartily welcome BELHS 9th grade crews, their mentors and crew advisors to the Sharpe Reservation. There is a great energy happening right now as we all prepare for this 5 day adventure. Mr. Sprinkle and Ms. Ray's crew are getting ready to go out on their 2 night backpack in and around our basecamp. There is a ridge network that encompases this camp in the valley and sometimes if a crew yells really loud we can hear them. It is nice to know that everyone is close by.

All other crews are getting to know each other more intimately by particpating in low challenge activities. Everyone is having a great time, basking in the sun and just playing. We are all really excited to have such a special group of young women and men here with us. Stay tuned for more!

  5. I will. Two groups are out backpacking and I am only able to download about 5 pictures at a time. This is a one person operation and I have lots of other duties. I will try my best.
