Sargent Camp Center experience


On 27 Aug morning we, all 16 Boston University (BU) Humphrey Fellows, were taken to the BU Sargent Camp, an outdoor education center of BU which is situated into a deep forest, near Peterborough town of the State of New Hampshire (Live Free or Die is the spirit of NH !). The camp is about 3 hour drive from Boston city, a very calm & quiet place & designed to perform many outdoor activities - soccer, volleyball, basketball, canoeing, swimming, kayaking, hiking & so on. The camp is away from city hustles & busy environment, even though cosy beds & clean baths are provided by BU. It's surrounded by tall trees - mostly pines, oaks, birch, maples, etc.

We spent there for 2 days. During our stay there many groups came in and also went out. Our own activities were mostly centered on learning better of our fellows through listening their own stories, teambuilding, formulating our commitment to the Humphrey year and finding a suitable working strategy as a group. But there were some time when we could manage to go for swimming, caneoing, and kayaking. It's indeed a great fun !
