A weekend at Mt. Misery, can it get any better then that! Urban Trekkers just returned from their winter retreat. Our theme was Building Trust. The retreat center at Mt. Misery is located in the heart of the New Jersey's Pine Barrens and offers some great facilities for trust building, teamwork and establishing confidence. We participated in a ropes/challenge course set outside near the centers waterfront. The freezing temperatures made our work all the more challenging for our students. Fortunately the rustic lodge with it's bunk rooms, central community room and working fireplace provided a comfortable refuge from the outside elements to do some further trust and confidence building activities and games. It also gave us a chance to continue the planning for our upcoming Mount Washington, NH expedition this Spring (April 17-22). Enjoy the pics!
