Two most enjoyable experiences.
In 5th grade we went to Yosemite and stayed way up high at the Yosemite Institute of something or another camp, and did a lot of snowshoeing, and cross country skiing. This was during El Nino, so it was Easter weekend and we're up there in the middle of a blizzard. We also spent some time down in the valley hiking and doing other semi eductional things.
The second would be in 7th grade when we went backpacking in the Grand Canyon for a week. 14 mile hike from the rim to the bottom in 110* weather...now that was fun
