This Is What We've Been Waiting For

Since I last wrote I've been counting down to our ROCS trek!
We've been frantically planning and preparing for our participants to arrive and for them to have the most awesome 3 week experience here at Philmont! I've also spent some time in the backcountry doing other STEM things.

 That being said, starting on July 1st, we will be in the backcountry for 3 weeks. Our participants will start arriving on June 30th. We will have 3 weeks and 130 miles to explore the wonders of Philmont! We will teach lessons on all the -ologies. Ecology, Hydrology, Fire Ecology, Meteorology, etc. It's going to be so great.

The first men's trek went out 2 days ago. They seemed to have a great group. It's wild to think that considering our schedules, we won't get to see them for 5 weeks! And by that point, the summer is almost over :(

I will only be able to receive snail mail from June 30 to July 20. I would love to hear from you!
