The summer trip involves five days of paddling down the Namekagon and St. Croix rivers. You are educated on the surrounding trees and plants, along with how the Ojibwe people used them hundreds of years ago. It also helps develop skills like fire building, group cooperation, canoeing and outdoor survival techniques. The homework involved would be: daily journal, a book to read, and assignments pertaining to the book all for a half a credit, which is well worth it.
If you are interested, it takes place this year on the week of June 14-18 and the following week June 21-25. A maximum of 14 kids are allowed per trip. With the affordable fee of 90 dollars, it’s a great way to earn a half of a credit and perfect way to start off your summer. And besides, you get to spend 5 days with not just Doug, not just Randy, but Doug and Randy.
