GRP at Home

By Catherine Schenck on June 02, 2020

This week’s #GRPathome offerings:

It is finally sunny again in Western North Carolina and this means things are happening around basecamp. We have a small work crew water-sealing the health hut, while Danny and Courtney are busy working on routes out at Bear Rock. The new trail that TBX started connecting the Hemlock Field to Uncles is also nearing completion! It is has been fun giving basecamp a bit of a facelift that we are excited for all to see.

Camper email exchange. If your camper is missing their camp friends but forgot to get their contact information before leaving never fear! We have created a google doc where campers can enter their name, email address, and session. We will then email out the contact info for all those that signed up so that they can find their friend’s contact information.

Nature Documentary Watch Party. Join Avery for a nature documentary viewing at 7:00pm EDT on Thursday, June 4th. To register and receive the zoom link please fill out the google form.

Interested in becoming a Junior Ranger? Check out this website by the National Park Trustwhich lets you get your badge from homre.

We also encourage you to continue to seek the joy by bringing camp moments to your own home, and we want to see them! Please take pictures of your hikes, Mentor Moments, and joyful moments and email them to us or share them on social media with the hashtag #GRPathome. We are looking forward to a fun summer together.

Have a great week and continue to seek the joy!

Catherine is the Director of Education and Outreach. When she is not in full summer camp or SEE (School of Environmental Education) mode, she is exploring the trails and trout streams of WNC. During programs you can find her driving buses, lifeguarding at the dock, preparing for all things campout, or running around with her dog Rosco. She tries to resist disrupting fly fishing classes with celebratory whoops of “fish on” when a camper hooks a fish, but is not often successful.
