DULUTH - The Northern Explorers club at St. Scholastica held a gear
swap fundraiser this weekend to raise money for group trips and student–leader
training.
The club goes on numerous outdoor excursions throughout the
year, including skiing, hiking, backpacking, and canoeing trips.
By paying a five dollar fee, those interested in getting rid
of old gear, were encouraged to drop their equipment off and return to pick up
their profits once their gear had been sold.
Student leader Emily Nelson said, "Even though we still
have some good stuff out here, it's running a lot lower than what we started
with. We’ve had a great turn out from the public.”
Those who stopped by were also welcomed to go rock climbing
for just one dollar.
