Firefighting 101 with Bishop Brush

The teacher's quorum has started a series of career exploration nights. The first episode was to learn more about firefighting as a career. The amazing Bishop Brush gave a great presentation about what he does, how to become one, the benefits, the drawbacks, etc.

And for the grand finale, Alex got to dress up in the gear.

Sliding Rock

On Tuesday the teachers and priests drive to Alpine, UT and did a short hike to the beautiful and somewhat secret "Sliding Rock." It is an amazing natural water slide, where the water has worn the granite smooth. The water is really, really cold, but the slide is really fun. Enjoy the photos and videos below.

High Adventure Camp 2013

Our High Adventure Camp 2013 was a success. We had a lot of fun, learned valuable lessons, laughed together, prayed together, cooked together, and ate together.

We camped in Zion's National Park the first day and hiked to Emerald Pools. The second day we conquered Fat Man's Misery Canyon. This required courage, grit, rappelling gear, orienteering skills, and a lot of water.

We had a one night stop over in a hotel in Panguitch on our way to Escalante where we camped at Posey Lake. There, we enjoyed a beautiful view, caught pet snakes, and enjoyed the lake.

On our last day, we hiked to Upper Calf Creek Falls and enjoyed swimming in the beautiful natural pools and waterfalls.
