The Trip

It’s official: our team will spend the next five weeks kayaking from Stockholm, Sweden to Helsinki, Finland! For the last year, five juniors from the Gettysburg Recreational Adventure Board (GRAB) have worked closely with their directors of the Office of Experiential Education, along with a faculty member, and three professional sea kayakers to bring this dream to fruition. Logistics, fundraising, marketing, harassing multinational companies over the phone for donations – we’ve done it all. This trip has been constructed from the ground up as an exercise in expedition planning, and by checking back over the months of June and July you’ll see the results of all of our hard work.
