“Keith (Annie’s senior leader) gave us a wonderful sense that our daughter was safe and having a great time. His love of the outdoors inspired Annie, and encouraged her own. His maturity and knowledge were great!!”

Biking on the 1,000
Mile Adventure is generally moderate and combines routes
followed by other SHP groups through Massachusetts,
Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Quebec and Montreal –
the scenery is spectacular! You and your group can expect to
average about 55 miles a day, working towards your ultimate
goal, the 1,000 mile mark, where you stop and write your
victory message in chalk on the road for all to see!
True, the
focus of ATM is distance, but this trip includes all the activities
that make SHP fun and special. Opportunities to swim
in pristine rivers and lakes, play Frisbee, roast marshmallows
over campfi res, and explore beautiful sights such as Niagara Falls will add to the awesome experience provided for cyclists on the
Thousand Mile trip. Excited, but nervous? That's natural. Go for the Gusto and be a part of this unique summer experience!
