We just got back from our annual 8th Grade Excursion, where we take the uprising freshmen on a "rites of passage" camping trip to work through the thrills and transitions of adolescence and high school life. This year was great! The students were fantastic and had excellent attitudes the whole weekend, even with the insane thunderstorm on Saturday night.
The small group conversations were my favorite part, because it was cool to watch the guys open up and encourage each other. But we also had a blast singing silly songs (Baby Shark, Little Cabin, Frog Song, Little Red Wagon, Morning Bird Song, Rise and Shine and Shut Up!,...)
My favorite Scenes
Daniel -Racoon Dancer and Fancy Stick Maker
Katie -Ever Encourager (Racoon stole her jacket for her trail mix)

Theresa -the enduring hiker
Abbey -1st female swimmer (Devon pursuer)
Jeremy -the "toothpaste oreo" eater (the hygenic dessert)
