The adults on every trail

Lanie started Tentpole to give kids a way into the trails around Flagstaff that starts slowly and stays curious. She leads the first trail of every week, answers the phone and knows every camper's pack by sight.

Clarence plans the routes, checks the sky and the forecast every morning and walks at the back on the long trail day. He teaches campers to read clouds, wind and the ground under their boots.

Mose runs the camp craft weeks: shade flies, knots and the camp kitchen table. He checks every pack at the trailhead and likes a tidy site that leaves no trace.
