On the morning of day two, we awoke to the salty aroma of the shore. The sun was coming out already as we hiked over to the dining hall for a delicious breakfast of waffles, sausage, cereal, bagels, yogurt, fruit…did I mention sausage? It would be an understatement by their vegetarian teacher to say this group LOVES pork. I hear there is bacon for breakfast tomorrow and I will be getting out of the way FAST. Following breakfast, the group headed out to the docks for crabbing. In the pictures below, you can see spider crabs, green crabs and one other kind whose name eludes me…with a red bottom. The kids had a great time baiting their hooks with hotdogs and trying to determine the gender and species of each unfortunate creature as it emerged, entangled in the nets.
Derek, the camp chef, has planned a classic camp lunch for our group–grilled cheese, soup and corn chips. I also sneaked a look into his big pot just now and predict tacos for dinner which, no doubt, will be a crowd pleaser. Following lunch, we will head back out to the shore for some writing and reflection. The students have a choice of electives this afternoon–a geology exploration through volcanoes or learning about the effects of hurricanes through sand castle construction. Way better than studying dead Mesopotamian kings!
Stay tuned for more adventures!
