Eighth Grade Interim Trip

List of 4 items.

• Seven Springs Mountain Resort

  Mid-afternoon on Tuesday we’ll arrive at Seven Springs Mountain Resort, located in the borough of Seven Springs (also called Champion), Pennsylvania.  At 3,001 feet (915 m) above sea level this area is known for its relatively high elevation. Seventeen years after Detroit philanthropists George and Ellen Scripps Booth began the Cranbrook Educational Community, the German German immigrant Dupré family bought 2.5 acres (about the area of a Manhattan city block) and founded Seven Springs farm, which later became the resort. After getting our room assignments and unpacking, we’ll have dinner and will spend the evening enjoying the activities around the hotel, including basketball, sand volleyball, tennis, pool, putt-putt golf, and corn hole on a huge grass field.

• Wilderness Voyageurs

  After breakfast (reportedly the resort’s best meal!), we will spend the day rafting with Wilderness Voyageurs, the “go-to outfitter to experience Ohio Pyle’s best white-water rafting.”  Established in 1964, they are the oldest and the most experienced outfitter for outings on the rivers in southern Pennsylvania.
