while learning about some of the nation's most historic and beautiful natural
areas. The first week will be spent exploring the endless trails and river-ways
of the Shenandoah. Campers will then enjoy discovering the caves, rivers and
rocks of West
Virginia during the second

This is a hands
on experience with "no free rides". Campers are taught skills
and then expected to be responsible for them such as: setting up their own
campsites, preparing and cooking meals, selecting group gear, menu items, and when
