Middle School Group Takes to the Snowy Woods

Our middle school group spent last Thursday and Friday at Sleepy Hollow in Huntington. We snowshoed and skied up to Butternut Cabin where we kept a hot fire going, ventured out for moonlight exploring, told stories and had a good time. We don't know exactly how cold it got that night, but in the valley it was below zero. The loft was warm, the bottom bunks were just right, and our water bottles froze on the floor. In the morning we had a long morning meeting, then spent the day on skis.
