Today I woke up, got ready, packed the rest of my bags, and ate breakfast. Then my cab picked me up at 6:50 to get to the school by 7:30. I ended up getting to the school at 7:15 so I had enough time to get a hot chocolate.
We then waited until 7:50 because there was one student who wasn't there yet.
Finally she arrived, we loaded the buses (2) and took off to our outdoor ed camp. 5 teachers, 2 student teachers, and about 75 5th graders. :)
We left around 8 and got to the camp around 9:30. Once we got there, we split into our groups and started on our first activities after morning tea.
Our first activity was a high ropes course. This was great because it got the kids working together and helping each other by motivating and cheering them on as they climbed. From here, we went to kite making which was actually a lot more fun then I thought it would be and the kids really enjoyed it too.
Once we finished that, they put their bags into their cabins and then we headed over to the dining hall for lunch.
After lunch, we went for a little hike to a rock pond. A few of the students saw a couple snakes but luckily I didn't see them so everything was fine.
Next, we went 'mountain biking'. I say this with quotation marks because it was really just biking down a gravel/sand path. It was still fun though. Two of the students had never biked before then, so Mr. Engelbert stayed back to help them and by the time we got back, they were riding around like pros! It was awesome and really rewarding.
Finally, we let them have about 20 minutes to shower before supper. About half of the group got through so the other half would have to wait until after supper.
We then headed over to the dining hall again and had a really good supper.
Next, they had about 20 minutes again to get their showers in before we went over to the meeting auditorium for the movie.
We watched half of Gnomeo and Juliet, then they headed back to their rooms and had to have lights off by 8:45. This seems early, but the kids were exhausted and they had to be ready by 7:30 breakfast in the morning so it was a good time.
Once we had everyone settled and lights off, I got ready for bed and checked my phone for a bit.
I then went to sleep at 10. I was exhausted as well!
Kite making fun!
