Success! Two students from Silver Creek and five from Brocton were our guests today. By the end of class, we couldn't tell which school the kids were from. With the weather warmer and drier, the stove fueling lesson could take place outside for the whole group and that saved time. We packed pineapple chunks, powdered milk, pancake mix, and banana chips. Our Brocton adviser understood the advise and guide directive and was able to help one group function independently. The teens, on the other hand, didn't understand how to create equally sized bags of banana chips.
The student leaders were awesome, as always. Clare, Melinda and Denali taught with such ease! They shared anecdotes and safety tips like pros. As first year leaders, Kelsey and Natalie were a bit more reserved, but gradually gained confidence.
I fitted six more campers with backpacks for a total of ten so far. There was only one boy we couldn't fit, but we'll keep looking.
Mac and cheese! YUM!
Faint color in the treetops, wildflowers in the woods, daffodils on the hillside.
Another sure sign of spring? Ice cream with Amy at the Big Dipper!
