The climax of many a boy's summer is the conquest of Mt. Katahdin, Maine's hightest peak. Unspoiled by the casual tourist, this mountain and surrounding area provide many different types of climbing. A different kind of trip running three to four days in length heads out for a new area of Maine each week. The boys travel with a new group every trip, learning to work with many different individuals as the summer progresses. The camping skills taught one week are expanded the next week and the boys who have shown interest and ability will find increasing opportunites open to them.
Trips are many and varied.
Grouped by age and ability, boys face new adventures each week as trips become more distant and challenging. Some go by trail, some by canoe, and some even by bicycle.
