<description><![CDATA[<p class="fpg">The sophomore camping trip was an opportunity for students to learn the history and science that formed Arizona. The first excursion began at Cocino National Forest where students learned about the science involved in lava cave formation. After learning, the exploring began. The sophomores had to navigate through the 700,000 year old cave in complete darkness. It was an awesome chance to see a part of Arizona that many people are unaware of.</p>

<p>Navigating through dark underground lava caves was the introduction. After setting up camp and getting in a good night&rsquo;s sleep the students had to take on the most physically demanding hike they would ever attempt. It took four hours to make it up the summit of Humphreys Peak, the highest point in the entire state of Arizona at an elevation of <span style="background-position:initial initial;background-repeat:initial initial;"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:10pt;">12,637</span></span></span>&nbsp;<span style="background-position:initial initial;background-repeat:initial initial;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">feet</span></span><span style="background-position:initial initial;background-repeat:initial initial;"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:10pt;">. </span></span></span>The students had to deal with rocks, snow, and uncertainty but three were able to make it to the top. It was great experience for everyone involved. Congrats to our students for all of their hard work.&nbsp;</p>
