[Philmont] Increased Participation

David

You were indeed there at the end of the season. Biggest problem with extending the season is: Who will be there to staff? Most of the staff are college students and must be back at school by mid to late August. If the season were extended, it would end up being much like an Autumn Adventure where there was no program.

Good evening.

One way to increase participation would be increase the number of crews in August, perhaps extending the season several days.

We arrived at Philmont August 6, 2006. Our trek #22 was not crowded. We had no sister crew. We were not crowded in camp: Vaca, a trail camp, no other crews; Deer Lake, a trail camp, no other crews; Ute Springs, a trail camp, perhaps 2 other crews; Lambert Mine, a trail camp, no other crews; Mt. Phillips, a trail camp, perhaps 2 other crews; Porcupine, a trail camp, no other crews; Beaubien, a staff camp, maybe 5 or 6 other crews each night; Abreu, a staff camp, maybe 4 other crews; and Miners Park, a staff camp, no other crews.
