FORM III BOYS PARTICIPATE IN PINE FOREST CAMP ADVENTURE In October Form III boys journeyed by bus to Pine Forest Camp, as is tradition for their grade. The annual trip, designed to give the new-
est Upper School boys an opportunity to enjoy each other’s company during two days of a variety of activities, was led by Upper School
Head James Reynolds, along with Brett Wisniewski from the classics department and Michael Cohn from the P.E. department.
The first day at camp, the boys rotated through activities such
as canoeing on the camp’s lake and high- and low-rope challenges, which included the ever popular zip line. On day two, they were up early to pack, load up the bus and grab a hearty breakfast
before heading to the shore of the Delaware River for rafting. After reaching their final destination in Matamoras, Pa., the boys and
faculty gathered in small groups with the Mountain Workshop team to debrief before heading home.
