This
week all campers hiked Mount Holyoke at Skinner State Park. It is a steep hike,
and quite a feat for young legs, but everyone did it! At the top, campers got a
glimpse of the Connecticut River from above, and were eye level with birds,
planes and clouds! Campers guessed where Amherst and Northampton were, and the
Hitchcock Center. You could see the Pelham Hills too and the Route 9 bridge
over the Connecticut River.

The Explorers climbed rocks.

| The Young Naturalists had journal writing time at the top. |
Both
groups encountered interesting wildlife – millipedes, a large black beetle, and
the Young Naturalists spotted multiple centipedes, even a purple one!
