Last Friday, the freshmen class took a retreat to the Greenwood Park in Baker, Louisiana. At first, I thought it was a learning experience with our grade to get to know each other better. I found out first thing that morning that it was a service learning opportunity.
Our class was divided by advisory and sent out to complete different tasks, such as, clearing a path way for a new nature trail, learning camping/ outdoor sing advice for maintaining a better environment, and canoeing out on the lake and picking up trash. It was unexpectedly a lot of fun! I felt like I was doing something with meaning while not dreading it. I recommend this to other classes and think that it is a great learning experience.
I thought it was fun also!
ReplyDeleteIt was really cool. Defiantly had fun. Great writing too!
ReplyDeleteI agree it was a lot of fun. Also, that other classes should go to the park for some team learning experiences.
