| Summer 2006 Headlines Cape
Cod Ocean Adventure: With the addition of a
Monomoy Island Robinsonada, Thomas has added meaning
and depth to this popular expedition.
Tour De Food: was born out of Chris
Knapp’s imagination. Students will build brown
ash pack basket bike panniers and travel by bike from
farm to farm working for their food. No extra energy
used during this exciting journey!
The Creation of a Lodge: Is a collaboration
between Grandfather Ray, Misha and Laurel Iselin (Ecuador
04, Canada 05). Laurel took on the research of native
dwellings as her high school senior project and the
last phase of it will result in a new program where
students will build a lodge – the future home
of Kroka apprentices.
Caves, Cliffs and Waterfalls: Mathias
has put together his expertise in climbing with his
newborn passion for caving
Coastal Journey: With the addition
of a second giant canoe, that will be built by semester
students this spring, Mathias is planning on sailing
the Maine coast with square sails, Viking style!
Expedition Pre Columbus: With Grandfather
as the head teacher this program will have new meaning
and depth.
Paddlers Journey Up North: Students
will add to their wardrobe of homemade paddling gear
(we’ve already made ash paddles and kevlar/fiberglass
helmets) by making lifejackets. PUN will accept beginning
paddlers as well as intermediate and advanced students.
This year’s PUN crew will head to the West Branch
of the Penobscot and the Kennebec in Maine, culminating
our trip with a big-water run of the Kennebec River
Gorge.
Introduction to White Water will have
Sections A and B, for new and returning students. Returning
students will begin learning white water kayaking.
Adventures for Small People and Introduction
to Adventure: This trend has started last year
and is growing: families are taking a vacation during
the day camp programs and are staying at base camp!
Parents are resting and participating in Kroka, while
their kids are at camp during the day and by night we
have a community of families sharing meals and songs!
Andes and The Cloud Forest: In its
third year our Ecuador Journey will follow a new exciting
route, scouted out by Michael. Last summer we sponsored
seven Ecuadorian youth to participate in the program!
