Random Pictures from the week

Given how packed the KEEC week was with fun and adventure it is not surprising that I missed a few good photos along the way.   Thanks to all the adults that helped document our amazing week.

Choice Day! FK and the All Day Hikers!

Wow, the #10 All Day Hikers rocked Mt. Moosalamoo on Thursday. We got to the summit in record time and managed to get four other Choice Day events in as well. These hikers are incredible, they have the stamina, strength, and cooperation to go anywhere!

Final Campfire


 Tonight we had our final campfire.  Every camper presented a skit with their study group about an ecological topic they were given.   The KEEC staff provided the entertainment in between skits, Tim told the conclusion to a story from the first campfire, and a special appearance was made by the legendary Joe Scatony, who took a break from his world tour.

Carol Neff was honored for her years of dedication to CAES at KEEC and received a KEEC staff hoodie to remember her time here.

There is video of every skit, plus the special preformance, but given the internet connection here you will have to wait til the weekend to see the footage.

Goodnight from KEEC, looking forward to a last morning here before heading back south in the afternoon.






Choice Day: Falls of Lana

Another afternoon choice was hiking up to, and past, the Falls of Lana above Branbury State Park.   Here are some photos of the fun and the views experienced by the campers.
