Camp Pictures (Late... but worth the wait?)

Where in the world did the month of October go? Last thing I remember (and last thing I posted) was that I was getting my students, and myself, ready for camp. Camp was an awesome experience for the students. They were able to do so many things that were new to them, meet new friends (as there were two other schools there as well), and venture a little bit outside their comfort zones.

I really feel my students had a lot of takeaways from camp. A lot of them came back with slightly better behavior in the classroom and a unity as a class, having all gone through the shared experience of camp together. I have posted some pictures from camp below:

There was a "Farm" at camp where students were able to interact with animals (goats, sheep, rabbits, chickens, and even ride horses).

Students went fishing. In this picture, one of my students caught his first fish!

Two Berry students enjoying a ride on the pontoon to do some bird watching. One of the trips actually spotted an alligator.

More Berry students on the pontoon

First time in a canoe.

Another canoe "first timer."

Last night at camp at the evening ceremony.

Here is the website of the Outdoor Education Center. This is where my students went to camp Tuesday - Friday. It was such a great opportunity for my students. They reference camp weekly and I still catch them telling stories to friends and camping about "One time at camp..." or "Remember at camp when..." I am really glad I got to be there to share this experience with them.
