October: Off to a Great Start
The Kipp School arrived yesterday, ready to start their Chewonki adventure. After meeting their students, Chewonki instructors beamed with excitement. I even overheard two leaders playfully bantering with each other over who was going to have more fun this week.
A delightful group of Pittston students also arrived yesterday, playing a school-wide game of tag to get their day program started. With gorgeous fall weather, some students challenged themselves climbing in the barn, while others crossed the gulch with a challenge similar to a zip-line.
Although some drizzle covered up yesterday’s sun, our instructors were equally excited about the arrival of the International School of Boston this morning. Eager sixth graders arrived safely, divided into groups, ate lunch, and they are now heading out to their campsites for the evening.
I got great reports from the Kipp School about their night. Some teachers remarked that students woke up out of their tents this morning energized and eager to start their first full day here.
