More from Deep Portage summer 2009

Last week was a busy one, with five different groups visiting Deep Portage. Everyone got along splendidly, and the weather cooperated (mostly). Aquatics Camp and Upland Bird Camp were busy all week long, as were the U of M Hydrogeologists that are here for their annual two-week field camp. Arriving at Deep Portage mid-week were two groups, one from the Twin Cities (the Science Museum Idea Cooperative) and one from Sebeka (Leap into Learning program). It was a blast! Below are photos from the various groups. See you on the trails!

Forkhorn II camps at Deep Portage

The first two weeks of July have been unusually cool and dry, perfect conditions for Forkhorn II camp. Forkhorn II focuses on bowhunting techniques and safety practices, but also allows time for a good introduction to muzzleloading and big-bore riflery. Below are images from Forkhorn II sessions 1 and 2.
