Summer

Today felt like summer was here. We don't have any photos at the moment (the author was stuck on high ropes all day), but we had some great programs. Groups caught Musk Turtles, Crayfish, Fairy Shrimp and Frogs in all stages of development. We had a hawk hanging around camp and an Osprey caught a fish in front of our class. To top it all off, two of our groups got to visit Coonamessett Farm. Here's hoping the weather holds tomorrow.

Campfire

Getting started.........
....and they're started

Sharon Alternative School

Today was the first day of Sharon Alternative School's visit to Camp Burgess. The weather was awesome and set us up for a great afternoon of Low Ropes. Right now everyone is munching away on BBQ chicken and corn before heading to our opening camp fire. We will try and get some photos of that up later. Okay, got to go light a fire.
