Girls Camp
Explorers stretch themselves physically and mentally as they embark on a 5-day cycling trip on the rail trails of Western Michigan followed by a 4-day backpacking trip. Their mobile community deepens connections with each other as they work together in camp and on trail. Before and after their trip, they fully participate in the Miniwanca camp community.
