Safety and Preparedness at Workshops
Welcome back members to an exciting year with High School
Hikers! Starting off with our annual Fall Hikers Workshops held
this past Saturday, September 25, 1999 at Kamehameha Schools.
Approximately 90 students, teachers, hike leaders and support
people came out to teach, learn and have fun!
The concentration was on safety, preparedness and the Big Island
Ecology camp. We began the day with
keynote speakers Aaron Lowe of the Departmnt of Land and Natural
Resources (DLNR) Na Ala Hele Program. Then Mr. Ken Suzuki with
the Hawaiian Trail and Mountain Club (HTMC) who related his experience
of finding the lost hikers at Kahana Valley.
Then everyone “hele on” over to their respective
workshops. Brian and Buck of Camp Erdman offered their teamwork
and leadership skills on Low Ropes, Scott Rowland of the University
of Hawaii showed some great slides on Volcanology of the Big
Island, Atomman Kim did an excellent demonstration on Backpacking
gear, even with the rain the Tents workshop by Marc Morinaga
went without a hitch, Jim Yuen’s Knots was very educational,
First Aid by Mark Lee was fun and exciting, and John Cummings
offered some cool Day Hiking gear and information. After a couple
sessions lunch was served and thank you Kamehameha for the wonderful
refreshments!
Paradise Pursuits, the TV high school science game modeled
after the game “Jepardy”, was a fun way to meet students
from other schools.
Thank you Bonnie Fujii and Alicia Rogan for doing a great
job of chairing. And mahalo to Kamehameha for
the wonderful facilities and everyone who made this all happen!
So what to do with all this great knowledge? Apply it! Our
next activity is the Halloween Hike and Camp
at Ho’omaluhia. See your advisors or hike leaders for details.
