Hello Cavers!

The program is called Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience (COPE). It

others test individual skills and agility. Participants climb, swing,
balance, jump, and rappel as well as think through solutions to a variety of
challenges. You will also be instructing rock climbing and rappelling.
You will work with about 12 boys per week- ages ranging from 13-17. You will
receive a week of training before going. Your room and board will be free at
Bear Creek and you will get paid for your work.

Well, I'm sure whether or not it's the best could be debated, but I like it.
However, I'll admit to being biased. I'm the grotto chairman of the DFW Grotto,
and I'm proud of our grotto newsletter, the Oztotl Caver. I think our editor,
Diana Tomchick, does a very good job. We publish 11 issues per year, almost one
per month. Most months Bernie Szukalski, who writes the Newsletter Review for
the NSS News, covers some article from the Oztotl Caver.
Throughout last year I went on Texascavers.com and offered to send an
electronic copy of our newsletter to anyone who asked me to, and many did. That
was just to whet your appetite for it.
Anyone who would like to receive the Oztotl Caver, e-mailed as a PDF attachment
the last week of each month, can subscribe. To do so simply send a check for
$10 to me, along with your e-mail address, and you will be added to our
newsletter recipient mailing list.
I promise good reading.
Send checks to me at:
500 Kingston Drive
Irving, Texas 75061
Cavingly,
Bill Steele
DFW Grotto Chairman
