Outdoor School Wrap-Up

As the weekend comes to a close, the parents of Outdoor School students are inevitably still discovering the lingering effects.... mud-caked boots, a household filled with singing, and a child forever changed by this amazing experience. I feel honored to have witnessed the inspiring student transformations firsthand: students battled their homesickness to embrace the support of their cabin leaders and friends, others, who started out hesitant during field study time, began to voluntarily answer questions and participate, and most went from social uncertainty to initiating friendships with students from other schools. These are just a few accomplishments of your children and I am incredibly proud of them! I hope you, as parents, continue to discover the transformations in your child as the up-coming weeks unfold. For now, take a peek at a few pics of this incredible journey known as Outdoor School...
