Camp Seymore


So Spencer and I spent last week at 5th grade camp. I chaperoned 9 girls in a cabin by night and 15 for learning group. There were7 parents that went along with 3 teachers, a school nurse, and the Principal came for some of the time as well. It was a learning experiance and I am so glad I went.! I was able to learn some great things about nature along with watching the kids and how the interacted with each other. The weather was fantastic. It only rained a little the last day, so no wet cold children to worry about. Ive always known what a great kid Spencer is, but it was pretty cool to see him on his own turf and how many kids truly like him. The teachers were amazing and the Seymore Naturalists really kept the kids interested. It brought many of my 6th grade camp memories back.


The Climbing wall. Out of 15 kids, about 6 of them got to the top. Spencer was one of them. They all were incouraged to make a goal and decide how far they wanted to go. They all tried and did great!

There are three 5th grade classes this year. This is all of them, minus a couple who did not come.
I hope that they are still able to go when Audrey is in the 5th grade. She will have an amazing time!
