BikeTexas Trail Docs Build Hill Country Trail over Spring Break |
|
The BikeTexas Trail Doctors spent the week of March 13-17 at Camp Eagle (www.campeagle.org), a Christian youth camp located in the beautiful Hill Country region near Rocksprings, Texas. BikeTexas Trail Docs Ryan Spates and Susan Stormer were invited by Camp Director Anthony Scott to spend Spring Break week training and working alongside a large group of students doing mission work. The students had traveled from Truman State University in Missouri.
The BikeTexas Trail Doctors had worked at Camp Eagle previously, teaching a trail school and training the camp staff in sustainable multi-use trail building techniques over the course of the summer. When Anthony learned that a group of about 170 dedicated students would be arriving to do whatever work was requested of them, he quickly consulted with Susan and Ryan to see if they would be available to train and supervise the inexperienced workers. |
