Day Five @ Walden West

Hello All,

Day Five:

Today is our last day at the camp, or should I say last few hours at the camp.  I am excited to go home to my family.  If everything is on time, we'll be arriving at school by noon.  Kids are really tired and will appreciate to be picked up right away.  You'll need to sign them out.  If they came with any medication, make sure you take them back from me before you leave.

Thanks for sending all of them.  They really had excellent time and once in a life time experience.

Day four @ Walden West

Day Four @ Science Camp:

Today is our last day at camp.  We'll have Jeopardy night and dance at the end of the day.  Here are some pictures of my awesome kids.

Day Three @ Walden West

Wednesday, 09/26/12

Day Three @ Walden West:

Still happy, healthy, and enjoying our time at Science Camp.  Except for one student losing sleep over lost shoes, which we later found in his own luggage, no big incident.  So I'll keep it short and just post pictures of my happy kids.  My camera ran out of battery so I took two cabins with my phone and I'll upload those some time later.

Day Two @ Walden West, Tuesday 09/25/12

Day Two at Walden West:

Still happy and enjoying our time at the camp.  I just met my class as a group to check if something was bothering them.  They all are happy and having good time.  For most of them being independent and being able to spend so much time with friends is the best part of their time at camp.  I am so glad that my entire class had the opportunity to experience the outdoor school.
