Today was my first day of training at the institute. It started off with name games, followed by 2 hours of team building exercises, then lunch for an hour then random "getting to know the campus" tours capped off with 2 hours of mountain school introductions.
Mountain School is when we'll be teaching kids from 5th - 12th grade using the curriculum titled "environmental ecosystems." We just got our teaching schedules and curriculum packets, today so i have about 2.5 weeks to cram all of that into my head before trying to inspire 12 year olds. no pressure.
After we were done training, a few of us took canoes out for an hour or so before dinner and did laps around the area of the lake where the wind does not incite white caps. After dinner, i had a nice run in the rain, which was a very pleasant reminder that i live in the pacific northwest and that fall is quickly approaching.
more tomorrow when i'm still not damp from my run and exhausted from the day. enjoy some photos.
