Sixth-Grade Outdoor School

 

The 6th graders had an awesome week at Outdoor School at El Camino Pines! Their classes included astronomy, low ropes, pollution studies and fire ecology. The kids played lacrosse, did archery, climbed the rock wall and built shelters in survival class. They sang fun songs, made new friends and enjoyed God's beautiful creation.  Stop by Room 6 on Open House to see pictures of their adventures!
