================================================
Hol-Ry, Northern Tier Trekkers!

To introduce myself, I’m Craig Reichow, National Capital Area Council’s (NCAC) Northern Tier (NT) program liaison for NCAC’s High Adventure Committee. My claim to fame is that I was a wilderness guide (now called Interpreter) at NT for six years and returned twice as an Advisor with my NCAC troop. Now it is my turn to help your crew prepare for your trek to Northern Tier. We have roughly 350+ trekkers from NCAC this summer, so please attend one of our three training sessions. These sessions are pretty much the same, differing mostly by the questions YOU ask. We will also have recent NT staff members and NCAC adult advisors to ensure currency of information.

WHAT: Northern Tier Training for NCAC NT Crew Leaders. Baltimore Area Council NT trek leaders are also invited this year.
WHO: Crew Chiefs and Adult Advisors from every 2020 crew. We could have a few leaders from 2021 treks.
WHERE: Truro Anglican Church, 10520 Main Street, Fairfax, VA 22030.
WHEN: Please attend any one session:
Session #1: Saturday, March 7th
Session #2: Saturday, March 28st
Session #3: Saturday, April 25th
WHY: To help NCAC trek leaders know what to expect, and answer all of your questions. We want your trek to succeed!

NOTES:
· COST: FREE
· RSVP: Not needed. Come to the one session best for you.
· Bring your own refreshments, as we do not provide them. We will take short breaks, but not for lunch. Coffee is permitted.

See you there!

Yi-HA!
May the forest be with you!
