Tuesday Update

The morning schedule was delayed by one hour to allow everyone to recover from Survival that ended late Monday night. It was a very welcome hour for the entire camp, because even the people who held down the fort while most of us were at Survival stayed awake to welcome us home.

On Tuesday, we had a slightly different schedule where our afternoon workshop was held in the morning because we did not have an afternoon workshop on the day of survival.

In the afternoon time slot, there were "one-time workshops". These workshops allowed students to do something different from what they normally do. A few of the options included jewelry making, a Stomp-inspired drum workshop, Frisbee technique, and the History of Jazz. Summer, one of our team members, and I led a doodling/drawing workshop based on Zentangle techniques.

We brought pens, pencils, paper, and pencil blending tools and idea sheets. We both learned Zentangle from a member of our church, Vickey Wood, specifically in preparation for our trip. As time came to sign up for the workshop, we had no idea how many students to expect. We were hoping for at least 5 students, and thought that 10 would be great. By the time sign-ups were complete, we had 19 students! It was a great afternoon. Summer did a great job teaching and the students made their first amazing pieces of artwork in just over an hour.

The evening was fun, and the late-night activity included a game based on the Hunger Games series. It included a lot of running, hiding, and glow-sticks. The students really enjoyed it, and for the second night in a row, everyone went to bed very tired.
