This week addresses two big issues you can have when thinking about coming to camp.

This first one, of course, is having to decide! Who can possibly decide between canoeing or sailing or kayaking or hiking? It's really not fair to have to make such a hard decision when, after all, it's summer!

The second issue, is, well, how do we say this? Sometimes you just don't want the boys around. Especially if you might be trying something for the first time. The support from your new girlfriends may be just what you need.

If these are issues for you, then we think you should register for the All Girl's Sampler!

Well, like any out of camp week at Fowler, you're going to be basing out of our Wilderness Area lean tos and learning how to survive and THRIVE in the woods. So, be ready to leave the hair dryers and make up behind (but hey, you're also leaving the boys behind too! :) There will only be 8 of you so you will get to know your new friends quickly.

So each day of this week we will be exploring the Adirondacks... and our own abilities, in different ways.

• kayaking: we will learn this great skill and take our boats on one of the great streams in our area.
• canoeing: "teamwork incarnate!" Learn what can really happen when we work together. Oh, we might also get a lesson in canoe flipping and rescues!
• sailing: Let's give our arms a break and learn how to use that beautiful and invisible force, the wind, to take us away!
• hiking: Our hope is to climb one of the 46 "high peaks" in the Adirondacks (those that are over 4,000'). Let's see what the world looks like from on top!!
