Our Logistical Geniuses at Work!
Our CT Youth Excellence Crew on the Bigelow Trip! Our 8-Day Signature Destination Trip to the Bigelow Mountains of Maine requires a LOT of preparation! On this Expedition, the crew spends Day One on the road, backpacks for three days, then transitions to canoeing for three days. They spend the eighth day on the road home. As you can imagine, this requires a LOT of gear. It also involves a lot of food and thoughtful planning about when they need what and how they will get it! Liza, our Program Director, and Aimee, our Lead Instructor, spent weeks working all of this out. From plotting on maps to writing up an itinerary to creating a menu and determining grocery lists, they are our logistical geniuses ! Aimee and Liza! Their next move was to head up to our Gear Room on the 5th floor and begin packing all the gear. Outside Perspectives provides EVERYTHING the kids could need. This includes backpacks, clothing, rain gear, water bottles, mess kits, headlamps and bug nets, hats, socks, tents...
