6th Grade Outdoor Ed

This is Jordan heading off Monday morning to go with all (4) classes of 6th graders from our school to a place called "Warm Beach Camp" for Outdoor Ed, an annual event for the local 6th graders. They go for 2 nights and 3 days. They have a schedule packed with fun, including learning things like "orienteering" which is map reading, canoeing, rick climbing, pioneering, human impact, etc., etc.
This is a group of Jordan's friends, eagerly awaiting the loading of the chartered busses to whisk them away to the camp. Guneeve, Jordan, Matt, Nick and Carl (Matt and Carl's dad was one of the parent chaperones, and turned out to be Jordan's cabin leader - Nick was in that cabin too!
This is Wednesday - the "AFTER" picture. The kids were exhausted, but we heard fun stories of swimming, the "Music Olympics" lead by music teacher Mr. Gross (who's awesome!, not gross at all!), the not so bad food, even the amazing cinnamon rolls. Good times!

How fun--that's pretty amazing that they have such a big trip like that. Jordan looked great.
