Every year at CCHS, the freshmen class takes a trip to Duluth to deepen their knowledge of geology with Mr. V. This year, students went with Mr. V on Tuesday, May 27th to Wednesday, May 28th. During this trip, students enjoyed doing many things outside in nature, like rock collecting, hiking, and rock climbing. One of the highlights of the trip was skipping rocks at Lake Superior by Leif Erikson Park. The students visited a variety of national parks, including Taylor Falls, Jay Cooke and Banning. To end the first day the students walked up the Enger Tower to get a great view of the surrounding city and landscape. They stayed in the gym of a local Christian School at the outskirts of the city. Even though they were bitten by mosquitoes and baked in the sun, they got to experience God’s creation in an important way, and the trip was worth inconveniences like these. They had a good time and learned more about Minnesota, it’s geology, and the Creator who made it all.
