Banana Boats and the end of the Overnights

08/20/2018

The Hird villages took advantage of some dry and cool weather in the Valley today. It was a pleasure to be outside.

Tacoma and Lenape spent time with MAC Boys and Girls this morning by playing some games and making some Banana Boats. Banana Boats are bananas stuffed with chocolate chips and marshmallows and roasted over an open fire. Everyone was excited for new friends and delicious treats!

Tonight saw the final overnights of the summer go out. Sacky and Hemlock took their turns out in the woods, cooking over a fire and sleeping outdoors. We are looking forward to hearing all the great stories that come from this incredible experience.
