Trip Description: Come on the cool canoe crusade with kooky and kaliedoscopic Kiwi-keen Kirsten and the courageous captain (and clandestine cha-cha connoisseur) Chris as us scurvy searats scour the sea shores of the SACO! We'll spend the first few days hiking in the White Mountains, and conquer the summit of Mt. Washington! At night we'll stay at our cabin in Jackson as we get to know each other and prepare for our adventure ahead. Then we get crazy as we head down the SACO for four days, canoeing, swimming, relaxing, and generally wrecking piratey havoc (having fun). This trip requires no previous experience in hiking or canoeing and guarantees a fun time. Both leaders are also trained in small watercraft safety. So if you love the outdoors or want to get adventurous join us on the Saco; we'll have a great week before your college life kicks off!
