Last Wednesday, my co-worker and I packed up our classroom and students and took them out to camp. We spend three days living in the great outdoors learning about nature. It was wet and cold but everyone had a good time and lots of neat things happened. We packed a week's worth of experience into our half week. I was very proud of the students for taking the risk to be a part of this special time. Many of them had never been away from their parents for this long and most of them had never been camping before. This was my 5th time coordinating camp. It was probably the most work I've done for camp but the pay-off was also the most enriching.
