I am happy to report that Education Without Walls had perfect weather to kicked off the new program year on Sunday. This was an all-day event filled with “get-to-know-you” and “just-for-fun” games.  With the support of five passionate advocates and two professional outdoor educators, our group bounded through fun initiatives that encouraged the students to learn more about each other and themselves.  Also, a spirited round of Capture the Flag had everyone laughing and feeling very winded! The Island Men also joined the effort, sharing their time and talents by grilling delicious hamburgers and hotdogs for all the participants—one of our students ate 5 cheese burgers!

The orientation was a wonderful start to a full year of programming with these teens. Sunday was a stepping stone and the students are already excited for our next outing: frisbee golf and a beach clean-up. Your contribution has made a difference in these teens’ lives, giving them a day of joy, teamwork, and growth.
