I am back from our camping trip! We left out Thursday and came back Friday.
Thursday, we went to the US National Whitewater Center in Charlotte, NC. There my students and I want whitewater rafting, rock climbing, kayaking, and zip lining.
We left all those festivities for our campsite in Statesville. Some girl chickened out from sleeping in a tent, but we all had to sleep in tiny cabins without cellphones, Ipods, and laptops. But, we did not need those things to have a good time. We made smors, told stories, and laughed together all night long.
I had so much fun, and the girls kept me so busy, that I forgot to take pictures. But, I will post some when I get my hands on somebody else's.
The moral of our trip, even eighth grade girls can embrace the importance of removing ourselves from our technologically saturated lives in order to appreciate the relationships and the friends that we take for granted.
