It is another beautiful day at High Trails. There was a great sunrise this morning – a good way to start the day. The students packed and cleaned the cabins without any trouble. The staff say the cabins look great! Everyone is walking in for breakfast right now and seem excited for the day.
After breakfast the students will meet at their colored stakes for the last time. The High Trails will lead the groups down to our big rocks for a closing session. On Tuesday, the students wrote quotes about what they were feeling and looking forward to during the week. The staff will read about 20 of the quotes on the rocks this morning. Following the closing session, the groups will head out on their last discovery group.
We are looking forward to the last day with this group of 6th graders from DCC. The students did a nice job of further developing their sense of community, earth, and self this week. We hope it will be as evident when they get home, as it has been here at High Trails. We hope they have a great rest of the fall and school year!
