With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, AP Statistics and AP Computer Science Principles teacher Deborah Frazier has noticed how many more people are taking advantage of open spaces; however, Frazier has been going on hiking and backpacking trips for as long as she can remember. As a parent and educator, she hopes to inspire others to do the same. View the gallery below to read about and see photos from her backpacking trips over the years.

Having gone on frequent hiking and backpacking trips with her family growing up, AP Statistics teacher Deborah Frazier is passing down the tradition by scheduling similar backpacking trips with her kids. “We just add it to the calendar and it becomes a non-debatable thing,” Frazier said. “It’s like going to the dentist and going to church — we carve out the time and plan ahead. Everybody in the house gets super excited, and my daughter packs three days before. She’s that excited.” (Photo courtesy of Deborah Frazier | Used with permission)
