Did someone say summer field trip?!
GHS students currently in grades 10–11 can now apply to go on this summer's annual Porcupine Mountain Wilderness Area backpacking trip. During this four-night backpacking trip in the wilderness of Upper Michigan, students will learn first-hand about different elements of Biology, Geology, and Astronomy, as well as backpacking and camping.

There are no requirements for prior camping experience or equipment, just a sense of adventure and the willingness to learn.
