The Thousand IslandsStudents will wake by 8 AM for breakfast, where we'll be having Monkey Bread. Afterwards, we will take down camp and get ready to go, but instead of leaving right away, we will hike through Presqu'ile's picturesque wetland on their boardwalk path. By 10:30 AM, we will arrive back at the van and depart from Presqu'ile.
At 12:00 PM we will arrive in Clayton. Here we will be making a laundry stop so that students might have clean clothes for the remainder of the trip. Afterwards, at 1:30 PM, we will eat lunch in Kingston before departing at 2 PM. 45 minutes later we will arrive at the Wellesley Island Customs and pass back into the USA. If all goes well, we will depart from Customs by 2:45 PM. Here we will be making a short stop on Wellesley Island, one of the largest islands in the 1000 Island Archipelago. We will be hiking the Eel Bay Trail, a particularly beautiful location on Wellesley Island that gives incredible views of some nearby islands. At 5 PM, we will depart from Wellesley Island and head to the 1000 Islands Campground, a few miles upriver from Wellesley Island. Arriving at 5:30 PM, we will set up camp and have Bratwurst for dinner. Afterwards students will be given free time until the end of the night. |
