Greetings from your Junior Activities Committee (JAC). We are initiating a “challenge activity” which will entail an off-site adventure challenge for individual or family members. As our inaugural event, we invite all interested members to follow JAC leaders, Col. Art White USMC (Ret.) and Lt Col. Eric Schnabel USA (Ret.), in climbing “Old Rag”, a 3,284 ft mountain less than 2 hours from our Arlington campus. The trek, which can take anywhere between 4.5 and 7 hours offers a challenging climb, but rewards climbers with amazing vistas of ancient forests, rugged mountains and open skies. Col. White and Lt Col. Schnabel completed the expeditionary climb in spring of 2022 and challenge members to do the same! There is no fixed date or club support for the climb. Participants are encouraged to assemble family members or ANCC friends to join together in a group endeavor. Climbers are encouraged to take photos during the journey and upon reaching the summit and submit the photo, group name and climb time via the ANCC webpage Junior Activities “Challenge Activity” link. Climbers will be recognized in a photo display and with a certificate! ANCC JUNIOR ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE SHENANDOAH CHALLENGE
