The (Wilmongton, DE?) News Journal warms its readers hearts on 29 January 2007 with its version of the annual article on summer camp. This article, "Can-do Summer Fun For All," by Denise Morrison Yearian, lists a number of organized summer camps for kids, including the Spruce Lake Wilderness Camp, in Canadensis, PA.
Spruce Lake's option called "Surf and Turf" is aimed at 11-14 year olds. It "features five days of canoeing, camping and backpacking on the New Jersey Appalachian Trail.”
I'm thinking that maybe the canoeing part isn't actually on the New Jersey AT ... although last time I hiked through New Jersey there were some wet, marshy sections ... hmmmmm.
A little surfing of my own (the world wide web type) got me to the camp's web site, and revealed that the times this crew will be canoeing (or not) on the Appalachian Trail will be: 24-29 June and 1-6 July. They clear up their interpretation of the surfing part, too. They spend 2 1/2 days canoeing on the Delaware River and then "the other half of the trip will be spent backpacking about 10 miles on the internationally known Appalachian Trail in New Jersey."
Not just any Appalachian Trail, mind you, but the internationally known one.
