HP & Baldwin: Going Higher










"Take risks: If you win, you will be happy; if you lose, you will be wise." Author unknown

The key to being successful on the Crew Orientation course is to work together with your crew members. There are many tasks throughout each day and they cannot be completed alone. Whether it be to hide a stuffed animal from your instructors, climb a giant ladder with your teacher, or to navigate your way to your campsite, it is crucial that you are able to work with your crew mates.

Another factor that plays into a successful course is having an open mind and being positive. All the activities are safe, there is just a perceived risk. If you are open to sleeping outside in a sleeping bag under a shelter, you will have a tremendous experience. In the pictures and short video, you will see exemplary students who have opened their hearts and their minds to their adventure and to their crew members.

  1. Great photos. Keep them coming--parents love to feel connected to their kids. Although I haven't spotted my son Rafael yet, I'm looking forward to it. These guys look like they're having a blast.
