For summer 2020 we will be introducing a new trail program specially designed for campers who are excited about trying out the extended trail experience but aren’t quite ready to commit to an 11-day trip. The Intro to Trail program will run during our 10-day session, so that even those who attend camp for only 10-days have a chance to check out life on the trail. The program will spend the first two nights at our Mosquito Lake base camp preparing, the next six on the trail and the last night before heading home back at base camp.
Being on the trail gives campers not only an opportunity to see more terrain and gain greater appreciation for the natural world – it also provides a unique setting to build community with those on the trip. Learning to live with the same small group of people for multiple days on end in the breath taking and isolated setting of the wilderness teaches cooperation and understanding in a transformative way. We often hear from campers who attend year after year that the friends they made on trail were by far the strongest of their Unalayee connections.
The trip is intended for hikers of all abilities and may go short or far depending on the make up of the group. No matter the distance traveled, the group is sure to get a great glimpse of what it’s like to be out in the back country for a longer period of time and will get the chance to see some new and beautiful destinations!
