Learn how to take Girl Scouts through the wild cave at Stem Adventure Center!
When: Saturday, June 27, from 9 am to 4 pm Eastern
Where: You will begin your training at Kornhauser Lodge at Stem Adventure Center, 2665 Crosier Road, Laconia, IN 47135. After lunch you will explore the wild cave, then return to Kornhauser to clean up and close the training.
Description: The classroom portion of this training will be from 9 am to noon. After a 30 minute lunch break, you will drive a short distance to Tobacco Landing (on the Ohio River and still on the Stem property) and hike to the wild cave.

Expect to get wet and muddy, so dress accordingly.
