The Wilderness Department encompasses outdoor living skills: making and cooking over a fire, setting up tents, learning pack out skills for trips, preparing a route to hike, maintaining the Hive Garden and learning about the natural world around us.  The skills campers learn in camp are transferred to the many trips out of camp offered each summer to all girls.  Between tent overnights and hikes to the beautiful Vermont and New Hampshire Mountains, Hivers go on about 40 trips each summer. Trips range from day hikes to three day pack trips.
