The last week of July 2007r Crew 2238 embarked on a backpacking trip at Delwebb High Adventure Camp (see below for more information). The crew covered 50 plus miles, including a trip into Zion National Park and the Narrows for a day hike.
They also did a 20 mile mountain bike ride and a little kayaking and sailing, and some mountain man activities including black powder, archery, hawk and knife throwing. The crew completed a service project while at Delwebb.
Nineteen co-ed youth and four adult leaders participated on this trip...It was a great summer event!
Delwebb High Adventure Camp is owned by the Las Vegas Area Council and is in Utah, at an altitude of about 10,000 feet above sea level. Zion National Park is in the camps back yard. The Narrows mentioned above is in the Park.
The Camp is promoted as a Philmont type experience. Campers can Mountain bike, climb and repel on real cliffs, and participate mountain man activites. There is even a small lake to boat, swim and fish in.
The camp provides a good time and is not too bad on cost.
