MTA Freshman Hike Through Castle Point

Thanks to the combined efforts of Rabbi Eli Cohn, Rabbi Jon Green and Mr. Elie Hirt, Yeshiva University High School for Boys’ (MTA) Class of 2020 kicked off their MTA experience last Thursday with a full-day hike at Foxcroft, on the Castle Point Trail. After davening and a short bus ride, the boys arrived at their destination in northern New Jersey. They hiked up and down mountains, across rocks and branches. When the trek was halfway completed, they ate lunch at the old Van Slyke Castle and explored the remains of the building before resuming the walk. Throughout the hike, the whole class was split into teams of around seven boys each, competing on a scavenger hunt using the Goosechase App as they walked. In the end, Team Mighty Moose was victorious, with the Super Salamanders finishing a close second.
