"Arts in the Wild" Camp Photos: Fun and Games

We enjoyed some songs and active games down by the dining hall...



Below, we're playing our newly-built and -decorated rain sticks on the busride home!

"Arts in the Wild" Camp Photos: Forest Walks

During our week at Camp Tuckernuck, we're practicing our woodlands observation skills with "Wordless Walks" in the forests. For 30-40 minutes at a time, our groups explored wide-ranging terrain... without a single word!

We talked with our hands, our faces, and with our bodies.

We discovered lots of great new sounds, plants, animals, and landscapes... and we found lots of delicious summer berries, too.

Of course, it wouldn't be "Arts in the Wild" camp with music at the campfire circle...
You can find many more pictures and samples of the comics we drew here.

Camp Tuckernuck Week

Our annual Environmental Week at Camp Tuckernuck brought us many changes in weather, and lots of opportunities to explore the woods and waters of Deering Lake!

The rainy weather meant it was safe to have a campfire.

We had some very helpful parents on site, as well....



Thanks to all our parent volunteers and teachers for such a memorable, fun, and educational week!

Environmental Day at Camp Tuckernuck: Thursday, October 4

On Thursday, October 4, upper school students took their annual field trip to Camp Tuckernuck. We departed from school around 9:00, and returned to school at 5:00. The extended day enabled us to do lots of activities centered around the natural resources and wonderful spaces of Camp Tuckernuck. We spent lots of valuable time on the water, in the woods, and along the trails of the Deering Reservoir area.
