We just wrapped up our second day of outdoor recreation camp at North Bend. We aren’t sure who’s having more fun… students or teachers! 😎 Some activities students have participated in so far include creek critters🪲, tie dye🎨, archery🏹, boating🚣♂️, tracks and scat🐾, rock painting🪨 and swimming🏊♀️. We’ve had our highest number in attendance this year with 130 students! This camp is so much fun for everyone. We can’t wait for the next 6 days!











It’s Independence Day! Have a wonderful holiday!
