Friday at Sea Camp

We were able to get on the boats for a little while. We ate a quick breakfast and headed out to snorkel. After about 2 hours we headed in to camp just in time before a little storm. We are now headed home and will return tonight between 9-10. I will try to post more photos but I am have issues. We will be compiling all the photos taken by all the chaperons and sending a DVD home before the end if the year.

Thursday con't

Well, we were not able to go on the boat trip we had planned. We had to stay safe inside away from the storm that came our way. The children played a simulation type game about coral reefs. After that it kept raining so we stayed busy dancing, doing skits , watching crabs race , and doing the limbo!!! It was a very entertaining afternoon. The good news is that it stopped raining around 5pm so the kids were able to explore and have free time. After dinner we had an algae party!!! Any creatures were found in the algae like brittle stars, crabs, worms and fish. We are tucked in for the night and hope we can get on the boats in the morning. Hope all is well back home

Update on Sea Camp

We enjoyed our trip to the tide pools at Bahia Honda. The students found vase sponges, crabs, small fish, Portuguese man o' war, mermaid wine glass, brain coral and more!!! After our trip we returned to camp for a swim with the sharks!!!! That was followed by a little shopping at the camp store and then lunch. We are now in the dining hall enjoying an island simulation while we wait out a storm. We are praying the skies will clear so we can go snorkeling. All us well and the kids are having fun!!!

Good morning

Day 2. All is well. We had quite the storm last night but it was good sleeping music!! Breakfast is done and we are headed to the tide pools. We will be making the very best of our day until the storms come. The children are having a great time and already have stories to tell. The boys have been fishing and a few have made the biggest catch 'ever'.
