"Take risks: if you win, you will be happy; if you lose, you will be wise." Author unknown
9th grade students are taking many perceived risks today. It may be hiking for 3 miles, or climbing a tree to walk across a log. It may simply be putting on a harness and getting on a ladder. There is lots of cheering coming from the high challenge course today as Nadia's and Raka's crews climb high. Alyce is also with these crews encouraging individuals to do their best whatever that may be.
Adam and Amanda's crew are hiking to the high points that surround our camp. They will be rewarded with stunning views of the Shawangunk Ridge, Catskill Mountains and the Hudson River as the visibility is high. This means that from higher vantage points we can see for more that 40 miles. How often do we get to do that? Students will learn how to use a map and compass that will guide them on trails that take us to beautiful places we can only reach on foot. All in all, this is a great day and we are all thankful to be enjoying it together.
