Kids Expeditions starting up for 2013!

 I had the joy of working with some great kids over this past week during Frog Hollow's first kid camp of 2013.  It was an intersession camp and we had a very small number of participants, but that often means we've got a lot more flexibility doing things.  This was one of those groups that it was easy to remember why i do the work i do :) They were gung ho, cooperative, inquisitive, full of life, and committed to having awesome experiences! I wish every group we worked with gelled as well as this crew did.  We did a ton of stuff! We located about a half dozen geocaches, worked on kayak skills in an indoor pool, kayaked and canoed on the Eno, learned climbing communication skills, bouldered on Hager's Mountain, learned map and compass skills and hiked to the top of Occoneechee Mountain, picked up tons of trash (check out the tally on the Trash 2013 link above) and marked storm drains for Creek Week, went to an arbor day celebration in Downtown Durham, and more!  And all this in crazy weather swings from below freezing and rain to 70+ degrees in blazing sun, all with smiles.  It was a good week and i'm looking forward to more!
