An annual backpack trip for students to the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia is seeking new leaders.<\/p>\n
For several decades, Fr. Gerald Cavanagh<\/a> (40 years) and Mary Lou Caspers<\/a> (35 years) have led a group of students on a week-long backpacking trip to the national park following the conclusion of final exams each May. The trip gives the participants, who are typically active in campus organizations, a chance to get to know each other and build community as well as reflect on their lives and career goals.<\/p>\n Both Cavanagh and Caspers are stepping down from their duties in leading the trip and are looking for new leaders for the trip.<\/p>\n If you or someone you may know would be interested in becoming a co-leader for the backpacking trip, Cavanagh and Caspers are extending an invitation for an informational meeting to share more details.<\/p>\n Contact either Cavanagh by phone (313-993-1630) or email (cavanagf@udmercy.edu<\/a>) or Caspers by phone (313-993-1196) or email (casperml@udmercy.edu<\/a>) for more information or if interested in helping lead the trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" An annual backpack trip for students to the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia is seeking new leaders.
