Thursday, February 5, saw some First Place 4th, 5th and 6th graders ready to return home after four days of learning in the woods and laughing in the lodges, and others upset that they ever had to leave IslandWood.
After packing and giving a rousing applause to our IslandWood cooks, Team Marsh took one final outdoor adventure at the floating classroom. Fighting ducks, a surrounding of trees, and a lesson on maps while the water swished below was a calm end our week.
What did the students have to say about the trip?“It was so much fun and I didn’t want to leave! When we got on the bus I cried because I didn’t want to go home.”
“I had a lot of fun and there were a lot of games!”
“It was fun! We saw five deer on the way to camp.”
“It was long days.”
“I miss everyone, but it was exciting!!”
“I got to socialize more with others.”
Special Thank You's:IslandWood coordinator Melissa, IslandWood instructors Whitney, Heidi, Corwine, Brian and Otter, and everyone else who made for a fantastic week.
Howard and Barabara Wollner for making the learning experience possible for First Place students.
REI for donating the use of sleeping bags for the trip.
