Greetings from Wakefield, RI! We arrived here at Nature’s Classroom aglow with the golden autumnal hues of a gorgeous sunny day!

Our first day has been a busy one. Upon arrival, we created a luggage line to unload the bus. Sleeping bags, duffels, and enough boots to fill a shoe store were transported to our cabins, along with Allison’s 3000 stuffed animals (literally) and Raoul’s amazing yo-yo toy. In the dining hall, our waitrons (table masters), Kemp and Olivia served us salad, grilled cheese, tomato soup and chips. Brenna, our resident grilled cheese connoisseur, rated these sandwiches as an “A”, and I quite agreed!

Next, off to unpack and then play some outdoor games with our group leader, Rosa. Students then had a choice of two activities–exploring the salt marsh at Judith Point or going crabbing.

Tonight, we will enjoy the famous Taco Tuesday dinner, along with a variety of team building challenges. Stay tuned for more adventures tomorrow!

Jilly (and Tim)
