IV Form Expedition Video Recap


IV Form Expedition from Nolan LaVoie on Vimeo.
Well the IV Form Expedition has come and gone.  The trip was amazing with the boys having fun, being challenged and coming together as a form.  It was such a pleasure to get to hang out with the guys over the course of the four days.  Special thanks to Mr. Budlong and Mr. Monahan for their support of the trip and the boys.  This is a truly unique and special experience!

Guys having a good time on day 1








Group H sets up camp.

I was lucky enough to stumble across group H as they were setting up camp.  Word is they had a blast canoeing this afternoon with only one guy falling in the water!  We will call that a success.  After they set up their own tents their instructors will start teaching them how to make a backwoods dinner. Good stuff! 

Making sure that the rain fly is pitched tight!
Pine straw will help soften the bed!
Some WFS boys super excited to get their tents up so they can eat dinner

Still a bit more work to be done 
Two happy campers 

IV form expedition gets off to a strong start!

Indoor climbing gym gets 35 new routes

The guys from Vertical Rock in Manaassas came out to the school on Friday to remove, clean and re-set all of the routes in the indoor climbing gym.  They set 30 bouldering problems and 5 top rope routes for the guys to try their hands at! 


More kayaking in the pool

Below are some pictures of the guys getting ready for their first day on a moving river.  Mr. Reid and Mr Vickers get the guys into the pool to let them get some practice in a more controlled environment.
