Trail Talk: By all reports, this was an awesome summer at Trails. We had incredible campers, great staff, and fun growth experiences at camp. As we look back at this successful summer, we're already preparing for next year. Our Mullins Camp program for younger campers is growing, and Trails has new programs to compliment the existing course offerings.

Stephanie Donlon (Wizard Summer 2003) competed in her first triathlon in Boston. Nice job Steph!

Winter Tour:

The Aspen trees in Jackson Hole are starting to turn. The Wyoming facilities are closed up tight for the winter. Whigger, Mary Jo, and Tim have moved back to St. Louis for the school year. We are preparing for the summer of 2008 and getting ready for our winter travels.

Trails' most important means of recruiting new campers is word of mouth. If you enjoyed your experience with us, tell others about it. We hope you will help us continue the Trails tradition. Please call if you are interested in hosting a slide show.
