Hello Again :)

This final blog from Camp Cedar Crest comes to you with a happy heart and many fond memories. Today was an incredible day! 

Students went on the final 3rd hike (Wild Life, Ecology, or Geology) and the weather could not have been more perfect!

A highlight of the week was today's Survival Lesson and Shelter Building. After an entertaining presentation on how to build a viable structure for shelter in the wilderness, the students left on trail with instructors and classroom teachers to give it a try. The results were highly impressive and each shelter was "tested" to see if it could withstand a little rain. 

After dinner, the students roasted marshmallows around a fire and made S'mores. THEN...the big dance was held with crazy, invented line dances taught by costumed instructors. 

The evening ended with a candlelight ceremony led by teachers and instructors...and "the camp song." It was perfect. 

Tomorrow, after breakfast, the students will gather one last time to watch a video presentation of pictures of them taken all week by the camp's photographer. 

We will be loading the bus at 11:00 and hope to be home before 1:00 PM. Please stay tuned for email updates from Mrs. Stone. Students are excused immediately upon arriving back at SSJ. 

We've had a wonderful time, but there's nothing quite like home. 

Pleasant dreams from Camp Cedar Crest, 

Mrs. Copeland & Mr. Gray
