The photo shows Deer Hill Founder and Owner Doug Capelin, and daughter Emily, digging in the vegetable garden at Deer Hill Basecamp. With the sun shining, birds chirping, and the winter snow melting away fast, you could hardly call it working! Mia and Lily, Basecamp Golden Retrievers, are in the background. Under Beverly Capelin’s supervision, we have started to plant greens and other veg, so that we can supplement our Basecamp meals with delicious, fresh organic produce.

For those of us in the office, the real work is kicking in, as we busily prepare to welcome groups from schools around the country this spring, and process applications for our summer programs. Most of our signature summer expeditions are close to filling, so if you’re thinking of signing up, now would be a good time to drop us a line or call the office.
