A&A Dumoine Stopping Places Field Camp

We are putting together a group of artists and amateur anthropologists to go into the four stopping places along the Dumoine Hiking Trail and interpret through physical exploration/collection and art the buildings and activities along the trail.
This will be a camping /hiking /canoeing program where each person must be self contained with food, equipment and shelter for at lease a 3-7 day stay. FOD will coordinate transportation and the site plan objectives.
Please send your resume to dumoinefriends@gmail.com describing your skills if you would like to participate.
