Map and Compass at Cardigan Weekend


A couple of weekends ago we joined the rest of the NH AMC Family Group at Cardigan Lodge for our annual outing. This year Gianni and his friends decided to participate in a new map and compass program instead of climbing Mt. Cardigan. The kids learned how to use a map and compass. Then they applied their skills leading us on three bushwhacks over the two days. We successfully arrived at our destination each time. Of course the dishwasher was a big hit again this year, with the kids cleaning up so helpfully after each meal. It is really empowering to know that we can go wherever we want in the woods and not get lost!
