Tuesday PM update

 We all had a great day up here at KEEC today.  The rain interrupted a few minor activities, but the weather cooperated just enough to get in the traditional hobo cookout dinner tonight. Kudos to the KEEC staff for being flexible and giving our campers the opportunity to enjoy this experience. Many photos and videos were taken of the cookout, this post contains photos from Ms Ramsdell, more to come in future posts.

Inspection in Bear cabin Tuesday AM

 

Every morning cabins are inspected for neatness and preparation for the day.  The kids of Bear cabin had a song for the inspectors.  Thank you to Ms Ramsdell for the video.

Wetlands with group 4

 This morning group 4 went out on an investigation of different types of wetlands, starting with a swamp, then onto a lagoon, and ending with lake Dunmore, which was a great was to rinse off some of the mud!

Birthday celebration

 Happy Birthday to one of our amazing dishwashers!

Magic Spots

 Good Morning from KEEC!

Our day has started with magic spots.  Campers awoke and got ready to spend some quiet time along the lake to journal, draw, and reflect.   Amazing to see these kids ready to go get started on their day before 7 AM.  Now off to breakfast we go!

Good night from KEEC

The first day closed with a fun and entertaining fire circle after study groups worked to develop their skits for later in the week.   The moon rose over the lake as we transitioned to bed time rituals and read aloud.  Scroll down for a short video from the fire tonight.  

PS- feel free to leave comments in the blog, we enjoyed the encouragement!

 

First day pictures

 Here are some images from our first hours at KEEC.   Campers got their name tags and settled into their cabins, had a delicious lunch, and have been doing activities with the Keewaydin staff all afternoon.

Last Day before Keewaydin!

 Happy Friday Everyone!

Today is our last day at school before we load buses and head up to Lake Dunmore Monday morning.

Remember students need to arrive all packed (and labeled) for our trip Monday morning by 8 AM.  We plan to load buses and roll out of Chester by 9 so don't be late!

If you find you are missing items for you student, like a rain coat, we may be able to help, but please reach out ASAP to your classroom teacher if you have an issue.
