Almost Heaven, West Virginia

I recently took a trip to Harpers Ferry, WV where I was a participant in the Natural Leaders Legacy Camp which is put on by the Natural Leaders Network. The Natural Leaders Network is an initiative of the Children & Nature Network. The camp connected 24 participants from all over the nation (plus Canada and Puerto Rico and Australia) who connect people to the outdoors in some way. We went through training that ranged from the Sierra's Club Inner City Outings classwork to community organizing to dealing with work scenarios. We also learned so much just from each other through discussions and from bouncing ideas off of each other. In addition, we got the opportunity to go kayaking down the Shenandoah River, which was fantastically amazing. Our kayak guide, Mr. Mike, was full of wisdom and loved sharing his quotes about life with everyone. All the people involved were truly amazing people with so many talents! I feel privileged that I got to spend time with them and now they feel like family.
