There have never been children there when I have been there, but this might be partly because it is during school. I would say we are an aging group. Last year we had a man in his 20s, and while he did end up really enjoying himself, I think it was hard for him at first. I really don't know if they have rules about age. Maybe an older teen would feel comfortable with an adult group. I think it would be a cool thing for you to do with your son one of these years.

Welcome, Trish, Nice to meet you.
Sue, I'm wondering how to find out more about the Pennsyulvania Ski for
Light. I got involved with a simlar group one time about twenty years ago.
Are children or teens welcome?

All my dogs have been great hikers, though I'm sure Benny's big nose would
be working overtime. The hardest bit is (a) getting to a trail, and (b)
reading trail signs when the trail forks. But, with a sighted person
tagging along, those problems go away, leaving only bears!
Thanks for the info. Enjoy your getaway, and maybe I'll see you there next
year.
