"I don’t really feel like a chaperone or any more adult than any of you. I feel like you are my friends and I feel so very privileged to know each of you and to have spent the last six days with you in the Maine woods. Hopefully this trip has given you a sense of inner peace to keep you focused on the year ahead. Good luck and I’ll see you around."
--Volunteer on 9th & 10th Grade Trekkers Wild Expedition
