We've saved this one for a rainy week: a sun-drenched reminder of what a Penn College summer looks like when we're not getting a long-overdue soaker. About 25 people recently joined the Student Engagement Office for a nature ESCape to the Great Outdoors, transported to the Schneebeli Earth Science Center for several hours of angling, trekking, food, lawn games and more! Students enjoyed a fishing contest and kayaking at the pond; hiking on ESC's scenic woodland trails; demonstrations by forestry instructor Dustin J. Bartron and the Wildcat archery team; and marshmallows and hot dogs for roasting.
