Thank you for lending us your children so we could have a fabulous camp! I love watching all the examples of growing resilience in the children as they practice patience, problem solving, collaboration and accepting risk. Joe and I saw so many wonderful scenarios that warmed out hearts and allowed us to practice the authentic form of assessment we value; taking kids are they are and helping them grow.
Especially thank you to all of your hard work to make it happen. I love the sense of community. It is so good for the children.
Melissa Emery (Cole's mom) helped each child make a Tie Dye T-shirt. It's best to wash it separately in cold water with 1/2 cup vinegar and a couple of drops of detergent to set the dye. We took group photos of everyone holding up their shirts. We'll forward you a copy.
We had multiple tick checks during camp and Patrick McLeod kept samples of the ones we found. At bath time please do a final check for ticks, checking hair, neck waist and ankles.
There has been a report of possible Strep throat and 2 other reports of sore throats. Hope it skips you!
