District 8th Graders at Camp Kieve


High in the sky Calum Dixon, of Avon, and Rollie Zagnoli, of Carrabassett Valley, rest at the top of the "vertical playpen" challenge they just successfully completed at Camp Kieve in Nobleboro. The 60' tall high-angle rope feature is part of the Leadership School that 8th graders recently attended.
