Our first day at camp! (Tuesday)

 

We arrived and are loving the Keewaydin campus!  Students got settled into their cabins and had a delicious lunch, grilled cheese and tomato soup.  After a bit of quiet time, students immersed themselves into their first investigation.  Did you know that community includes all people and wildlife?  Students discovered that and so much more when exploring community in their new study groups and their first hike investigating the woods around our campus. Students were tasked with journal writing about different natural cycles:  soil, water, and air, and food webs. Before heading out, students were reminded of their basic needs while here at camp:  water bottle, name tag, back pack, journal, pencil, long pants, and close toed shoes.  We ended the day at the bonfire singing, dancing, and listening to stories.
