Forever Friends!

Good Morning! We are all packed, had breakfast, and took one last group photo on the beach. Today's morning song was Forever Friends. The kids had a great time with beautiful weather. They are on their final lesson, and when they return will have an early lunch. After lunch, we will load buses around 12:00 and depart around 12:30. Your children will soon be home with memories and friends that will last forever! See you soon!

Good Last Night

This afternoon, kids had choices of lessons to go on. Some of the choices were: survival, beach yoga, pine cone baseball, nature games and more. Before dinner, we had kids "pre-pack" and organize their belongings for our departure tomorrow. After dinner, the kids went on an Eco-Quest where they had to identify an area on the Ferry Beach Campus that fit certain characteristics in productivity, disturbance, and diversity. Later we gathered together for groups to share poetry, and a rap. Our evening ended with a song from the staff here. Now, the kids are tucked into beds awaiting one more lesson tomorrow, and hopefully another Red Sox win tonight! See you all tomorrow. I hope to get one final morning post before loading our buses. Good Last Night and Go Sox!

Great Beach Day!

The morning lesson was to learn about the beach and dune ecosystems. Some groups built the White Mountains and the rivers that lead to the Saco, creating the beach they were on, more scavenger hunts, and acting out skits, made up a sample of today's activities.

Our Last Full Day is Under Way!

We are all smiles at Ferry Beach as the Sox take game one in the World Series, and we were greeted by yet another lovely sunrise on our last full day! Many of us enjoyed a stroll on the beach before our breakfast of French toast, sausage, and cereal.

Here We Go Red Sox, Here We Go!

This evening the lesson was Nature at Night. They learned about adaptations that help nocturnal animals during the night. Most groups played a game of Bat and Moth to learn how bats use echolocation to find their prey. We enjoyed some beach time before dinner this evening which is where most of tonight's pictures come from. Go Sox!

Salt Marsh Spa

Today the kids visited the salt marsh. Most groups enjoyed a scavenger hunt of various things to find in this ecosystem. They had a great time on a beautiful day, and several took advantage of the free facials the Salt Marsh Spa had to offer...including Mrs. Nagle!

Good Day Sunshine!

Good morning! The kids had a great night sleep and woke up to a beautiful sunrise. We took a walk along the beach this morning before our 8am breakfast. Skipping rocks, finding seaglass and sand dollars, or just walking and chatting was a great way to start our day!
