Sam belaying one of her classmates.In October I had the opportunity to get to know 9 of the 16 participants who will be traveling with me to Hawaii in January for Messiah College's three-week Wilderness Encounter course. These students are mostly Adventure Education students who were on Fall Break with their Rock Climbing class.
Seneca Rocks in the distance on the left. 300 feet of vertical rock.I was able to join them for two days at Seneca Rocks, WV. While facilitating the climbing sites, cooking and hiking we built rapport and friendships without the baggage that the title "instructor" can carry with it. I am very much looking forward to continuing and deepening these relationships in January.
I got to continue conversations with Matt that we had begun on LDW this past summer.
We witnessed a beautiful sunset.
