As a camper, Connie accomplished the skills to become an Expert Skier, Sailing Commodore, Canadian Tripper, and was named All Around Camper, Red Pine's highest award.

In the mid 70's, Connie attended the Minnesota Outward Bound School's Winter Wilderness Survival Program. Her adventuresome spirit has taken her to such places as Africa to trek Kilimanjaro, Peru to experience Machu Pichu and Norway to cross-country ski the Norwegian Birkebeiner. She is an avid downhill and cross-country skier.
