Closing Comments by Sixth Grade Classes, Friday, September 26

East School, Lightning's Class (Ms. Yungen's Class)
Our class had a terrific time at Outdoor School! We loved spending time with our counselors and cabinmates and making new friends.

We had lots of fun here at camp. We will remember all the songs we sang, doing the skits, campfires, looking at the stars, sleeping in the three-sided cabins, seeing the wild animals in their habitat (like the deer at Survival), seeing the view of the ocean and playing on the beach.

We experienced a little of what it's like to have certain disabilities. It taught us to be empathetic and more thankful. We also learned some things about teamwork like listening to everyone is portant and that leaders have the special responsibility to draw others out and make sure everyone is heard. And we saw our field study counselors, Pickle Bee, Cheese, Shaggy, Ace, Okie Dokie and Pooke demonstrate caring and respect. Thanks for being good examples for us to follow!

We want to thank everybody at camp who helped make our week special:

• The cooks for cooking the delicious food and letting us have as much as we wanted,
• The Fab 4 for washing dishes and doing so many other things,
• Moses for letting us come to Outdoor School and teaching us songs,
• Yo Staff - Neighbors and RADD who helped us at recreation and checked on us,
• Grandparents for bringing us snacks, being such wonderful people and giving your time for us,
• MeMaw for teaching us about empathy in Welcome to My World,
• Nurse Mercy for helping us when we weren't feeling well, Go-4 for teaching us how to survive and how to build a fire, and
• also a big thank you to Gemini and Pawn for all the work you do around camp.
• We will always remember our week at Outdoor School.
