IS THERE AN EXPERT IN THE HOUSE?

(I have not talked to Ken Gates nor Aaron DiMartino regarding my masterpiece.)

An expert I have in mind for my masterpiece is one of my REACH Program advisers, Ken Gates. Ken is responsible for developing and implementing all outdoor related activities for the REACH Program. I thought Ken would be a great expert due to the fact that he enjoys rock climbing and the outdoors. I know that with Ken's help I will not only have the opportunity to learn more regarding the outdoors, but regarding the proper equipment needed in order to have a successful hike.

Another expert I have in mind is Aaron DiMartino. Aaron was one of my leaders for my Deer Hill Expedition. I spent twenty-five days of my summer vacation backpacking through the mountains and canyons of Colorado with Aaron and a few others and I can honestly say that Aaron helped me get through a majority of our daily hikes. Aaron loves the outdoors so his advice would make my masterpiece a lot more successful.

THIS IS ONLY A TEST

My test will be the reward of teaching and watching a few of my community members enjoy as well as learn about the outdoors. I will know if I passed my "test" based on my peers' reactions to my video and the experience/knowledge that my participants take away from the hike.

RESOURCE OF THE DAY #6

Deer Hill Summer Expedition with REACH (Resilience, Education, Adventure, Community and Health).

RESOURCE OF THE DAY #5

How to Survive High School, was written by Isabel Song, a high school junior at Colorado Springs. Throughout her post, Isabel gives tips and advice that help students get through high school.

RESOURCE OF THE DAY #4

High school tips that relate to hiking tips (based from the video above).
1. High school: when starting school for the first time, go with a friend (it's more comfortable that way).
Hiking: never hike alone! Always have someone with you.
2. High school: on the first day of school, don't pack too many school supplies.
Hiking: pack lightly, only pack the essentials (water, snacks, first aid kit).
3. High school: ask for help when you are unsure of where your classes are.
Hiking: ask for help/use maps when unsure of your location.
4. High school: be careful going up and down the stairs, watch your step.
Hiking: be cautious of where you step, be careful when going up and down mountains, pecks, etc.
5. High school & Hiking: don't be afraid!
