The Challenge has been issued!

SummitCorps Week 2 has officially begun! 

Over 30 contingents  of Arrowmen arrived today to continue the cheerful service to the New River Gorge National River area.  They came in by plane, van, and even a few by train. 

Contingents  from all over the United States have come to SummitCorps with camping gear in hand.

 Registration is one of the key points that happens on the first day.  The youth contingent leader and the adult complete the check-in process while the rest of the contingent enjoys themselves playing games hosted by the recreation staff outside.

 The I-Corps even have a job in camp on the arrival day: giving tool talks and safety lessons to  the participants before they hit the trail. This is to minimize the time discussing safety on the trail and maximizing the time for work on the trail. 

After dinner, everyone gets settled into camp and the crews meet their crew leaders in meetings to prepare them for the hard work week ahead of them.

At the opening show, everyone is pumped to serve the National Parks and to be in West Virginia for this massive service project.  The scouts can't wait to get to bed and get up in the morning to work! Let's hope they're up for it.
