In March FLOC learned that long-time supporter Kevin Conley’s son, Kevin (KC), was going to be hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, a trail that runs from the Mexican border to the Canadian border.
Summer camp just ended here at The Outdoor Education Center. This summer was full of laughing, camping, canoeing, hiking, zip lining, and much more! At the end of each camp we encouraged the campers to write down some of their favorite camp moments from our Leadership, Wilderness Voyager, Arts on the Mountain, and Ridge to River Camps.
Just last week the Outdoor Education Center hosted twenty-one students for our first ever “Arts on the Mountain Camp!” To kick off the week, students tie-dyed shirts, donated by Skinner Law Firm, designed team flags inspired by Salvador Dali and Margaret Bourke-White, and created their own unique twig art.
We are excited to announce the The Outdoor Education Center of FLOC’s brand new website! Thanks to the TerpSys Company, we were able to completely revamp and update our outreach image online.
This summer, the Outdoor Education Center is happy to welcome two Junior Counselors, Holly and David. Holly was previously involved in the Leaders in Action program in West Virginia, while David is currently in the Scholars Program in DC. Both students are in high school and want to give back to the Outdoor Education Center of FLOC! Let’s learn more about these two wonderful students…
Our FLOC Scholars program is visiting the Outdoor Education Center this week! So far the students have worked together as a team while building their group leadership skills.
There are many things that one would do in FLOC camp. I know FLOC is offering different camps now, but this is supposed to be about what I did in the last years camp. In a two weeks time period we had done activities with the “main ideas” of ecology, conquering fears, and fun. I also met new people.
During the first week of April, our Leaders In Action students from Charles Town Middle School and Harpers Ferry Middle School had the opportunity to participate in an Alternative Spring Break Trip to Charleston, WV.
On the weekend of February 22-24, our Leaders In Action students joined us at the Outdoor Education Center for our annual Survival Overnight.
The Harpers Ferry Half Marathon is just around the corner on Saturday, May 11. Don’t miss one of the most challenging and beautiful half marathons in the country!
