“I have never had a happier summer than the one I spent as Mark’s wilderness apprentice. Those few short weeks seem so idyllic now that I can scarcely believe they happened; every morning, I swam in a pristine mountain lake, and during the day I hiked and learned with Mark in the forested hills within sight of Mount Shasta. Every night, we cooked fantastic meals in old-style Dutch ovens, and sat by the coals as we watched the stars come out. I recommend this camp to anyone with a sense of adventure and curiosity about the world around them.”
