Elemental Awareness Intern Trip

The non-profit Elemental Awareness recently went backpacking with a handful of kids on its annual Skateboard Camp intern trip. Adventure Out supports E.A. because it teaches skateboarders who usually grow up in an urban setting, the values of nature and survival skills. Interns are kids who have taken the survival skills class at skateboarding camp and excelled in the program. They are invited back to help teach.

This year the interns were taken to Weaver Lake which is apart of the Jennie Lakes Wilderness Area. The setting was perfect.
















Interns and instructors had fun doing the usual activities of backpacking, but also worked on survival skils.

















If anyone has kids in search of a great camp, you can check out YMCA Element Skate Camp.
