Project Description:
My Eagle Scout Project consisted of building and installing two benches at the pond on Northwood and Long Pond. We all cleared out debris and made repairs to the retention dam at the pond. We continued on at Sawyer Park completely refurbishing and in some areas redesigning one of the park's main trails.
Total Project Hours: 175

Favorite Camping Experience:
During my fourth year at Massawepie (2004) I had the opportunity to participate in a high adventure program the camp offered. During the program my group took a two day backpacking trip in the Adirondacks. We were completely isolated from the rest of the world carrying everything on our backs and drinking water straight from streams with the use of iodine tablets to purify the water. It gave me a sense of isolation from all technology. For two days we didn't see any other human beings; no cars, no computers, nothing. One of the best parts of that trip was spending the night on top of a mountain. Waking up in the morning with the sun and seeing it rise over the lake far below was absolutely amazing and will definetely be an experience I will never forget.
