OHS Students Take it to the Slopes

By Blake Dehn, OHS Torch reporter
On February 15th,OHS students recently took a trip to Cascade Mountain for a one day ski trip; many students went on the trip and they really enjoyed the trip.
The Outdoor Adventure Club sponsored the event. The club was created by Mr Klokkenga, Mrs. King, and Mr. Rackauskas. The club was created to give give students something to get a chance to do something beside sports.
The ski trip was an all day event, with students leaving the school at 6:00 AM and not returning until about 9:00 PM. They traveled to Cascade Mountains in Wisconsin.
Collin Miller, OHS senior, said, “It was a very fun trip and I would recommend to all students to go on the trip.” He has attended the last two years and has really enjoyed it.
During the trip they spent most the time skiing. Some of the kids that went on the trip said it was a little packed, but they said they still got to go skiing as much as they wanted just had to wait just a couple minutes longer.

Johan Meyer, OHS Junior, said, “That this was a fun thing to do with my friends and, for being my first time, I didn’t really know what to expect, but I really enjoyed it and I would recommend it to other people to.”
According to Mr Klokkenga, he wants to do some more trips to places like Matheson State Park, Starved Rock, paintballing, and Upper limits. If you like these places why not give it try.
The Outdoor Adventure Club will have many more opportunities for people to do things. They plan on doing some more events once it gets warm out.
