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.
