February 24 (Adventure Camp) - Week 7

Having a February and an April vacation week is knew to me. Back in Virginia, we were out for Christmas break and for Easter break. Other than that and snow days, we were scheduled to be in school. Boy, these kids are lucky!

During this week, Kieve hosts an Adventure camp. Here students from the community are offered a place to hang out with friends and make new ones from 9-4 while their parents are off at work. I had the pleasure of working with the 1st-3rd graders. During this week, I build stronger relationships with some of kids I have already been working with at GSB as well as met different kids that live throughout the community.

Each morning, my co-worker Noah and I would take our kids on a morning walk. Here they got fresh air, explored the world around them, and released some early morning energy. Afterwards, we had a quick snack, followed by recess, and an indoor craft. Through the week the kids made various things including: 3D snowflakes, an animal's den, and tie-dye socks. Afterwards, we enjoyed a tasty lunch. After lunch, we went to the indoor rock climbing wall. Next up, was an outdoor adventure which mostly included sledding, however, we also did some snow painting and build forts in the snow. We then enjoyed a quick snack before going for our evening walk and heading back to the top of the hill to sled before the parents picked everyone up.

It was a great week. We were fortunate to have snow from the week before, but sunshine and warm weather this week for the kids to play in.
