Dresden Education Foundation visit to Anna Ruby Falls


ICO volunteers and the Dresden Education Foundation visited Anna Ruby Falls this past weekend.  We hiked to the top of the falls, collected leaves, played in the water and enjoyed inspecting an otter den at the Unicoi State Park playground.  Ranger Dave at Anna Ruby Falls talked to the kids about the falls.

Teaching SEEDs Ladies How to Pitch Tents

ICO had a great day teaching young ladies from SEEDs how to pitch tents.  We learned a lot from each other.  The young ladies have vision impairments and worked with us to plan some future camping trips.  We hiked Mason Mill park and then enjoyed a pizza lunch.
