This summer I have already gone across the bay with HoWL to rock climb and paddle board, and to do trail work at Left Beach in Kachemak Bay Sate Park. Later this summer I am looking forward to going on a five-day hiking trip in the backcountry and doing more trail work. 

HoWL’s scholarship program is called DiRtBaG, for Discount Rates to Boys and Girls. We pick up trash all around town and collect donations and pledges from businesses and individuals. 

Thanks to the support of HoWL’s sponsors, kids like me can go on some of the different fun trips that HoWL offers. Thanks again to everyone who donated and made these trips possible.
