Hanging Rock This Wednesday

We're heading to Hanging Rock State Park this Wednesday (Aug. 12th) with the middle and high schoolers to explore the great outdoors! It looks like we'll have beautiful weather (mid 70's, no rain). 

I hesitated posting the picture of Hanging Rock on the blog because I know my own mother would worry that I would fall off the mountain. Don't worry, in 18 years of taking hundreds of kids on this trip, I've only had 3 kids fall off the ledge, the odds are in your favor. All joking aside, we will take their safety seriously and will talk with the kids about behavior while up on top of the mountain and not let them get to close to the edge. 

Below are all the details you need to know.  -Drew
