Gordon Offers Camping And
Backpacking Curriculums
BARNESVILLE College
students are still getting sore
muscles and blisters from
physical education classes.
But in many colleges, the
aches and pains are not from
traditional classes like swim
ming, volleyball, and tum
bling.
Gordon Junior College has
recently added anew type of
recreation course to the
curriculum that has proved
quite popular with students.
Backpacking and camping
was offered for the first time
summer quarter. Eight stu
dents enrolled for the
three-hour credit course for
ten weeks of class instruction
and field trips.
Andy Davis, physical edu
cation instructor and Steve
Edwards, director of Com
munity Services, coordinated
the class and introduced
students to “roughing it” on
the trail.
“P, E. nowadays is not just
a college requirement for
exercise. It is now more
recreation oriented. Young
people are interested in
backpacking and camping.
It’s something they can do all
their lives if they want to and
it requires little equipment,”
Steve Edwards said.
The class of six young men
and only two women attend
ed several class sessions
where they studied the kinds
of camping equipment. The
instructors showed slides
taken on other hiking trips to
acquaint students with hiking
terrains. After an initial
introduction to the course,
students and faculty went on
a shopping trip to price
equipment and buy supplies.
Then the big test came.
On a hot July Friday,
campers and instructors
loaded up essential equip
ment in cars and took off for
Unicoi State Park in north
Georgia.
This three-day trip was
primarily an introduction to

84th birthday with her
daughter, Mrs. John B. Allen
and Mrs. S. C. Smith.
Mrs. Sylvia Carmichael of

Mr. and Mrs. John Hall
have returned home from

camping and hiking. The
students hiked 10 miles, slept
in lean-tos and generally
“roughed it.”
The next trip in August
consisted of a 16-mile hike
from Dick’s Creek Gap to
Unicoi Gap. The group hiked
with backpacks and slept in
tents provided by the college.
This time they were required
to plan and carry their own
meals.
Edwards said all eight
students were enthusiastic
and participated in both
trips. A few already had
some outdoors experience
while others had never been
in a sleeping bag. But the
three veterans, two Eagle
Scouts, a pre-medicine ma
jor, and a nursing student
from Samoa all know the
fundamentals of camping
now, including such side
effects as blistered feet and
aching backs. They also
know about unexpected hard
ships like the stomach virus
that infected half the class on
the second trip. But the
students said that even that
did not lessen their spirits
because the fun of sitting
around a campfire, playing
banjos and harmonicas, and
singing made them forget
how tired they were.
The student class was so
enthusiastically received
that Davis and Edwards
have planned a non-credit
short course in backpacking
and camping for people in the
community. A three-day
Weekend on the Appalachian
Trail will be offered in
October. The class will meet
for orientation on Oct. 20
from 7 until 9 p.m. On Oct. 24
class members will leave at

return Oct. 26. The fee
includes transportation, food

class is limited to 10 people.
