LiveMore Adventures in Newfoundland
LiveMore Adventures has just wrapped up two very successful trips in Newfoundland with the Fox River Country Day School, Elgin IL and the Lawrenceville School, Lawrenceville NJ.
The Grade 7 and 8 students from The Fox River Country Day School participated in a week long environmental studies trip to eastern NL. Highlights from their trip included sea kayaking in Cape Broyle with the legendary Stan Cook senior, and spotting Minky Wales and icebergs while on Coastal Connections educational fishing vessel. The group also completed a full day service project in the small fishing community of Petley. With gardening tools supplied by the Mayor, the Fox River students went to work with pick and shovel cleaning out the shrubs and trees from an overgrown ball field.
The Lawrenceville outdoor pursuit’s class completed an abbreviated 4-day sea kayak trip in Terra Nova National Park. Because of flight cancellations, the group had to shorten their expedition by 3 days but that didn’t stop them from making to most of their in time on the Rock. They kayaked and even hiked a seaside mountain in near perfect weather. The hearty group swam in the fringed North Atlantic every day and kayaked with in a safe distance of a towering iceberg.
