Camp Scully!

Sunday was soo much fun! It felt really good to be able to get out there and do something that other people will appreciate and benefit from. It was the perfect day to do it too, it was gorgeous out! It was a good change from being stuck inside all week in classrooms and the library! Just being outside working in the dirt and woods made me feel like a littl kid again! hahaha
When we first got to Camp Scully the nature trail that had just been built was a little rough in some areas. Within the first hour everyone working on it had made a huge difference! The weeds and roots that had covered the path were completely cleared away! And of course Hannah did an amazing job sawing down all the over hanging branches! :-D I didnt get the opportunity to work with the tree planting group but it looked like the transplanting was successful!
By the end of the day i was exhausted but i felt extremyl pleased with all our efforts. To be able to create a place where kids can go and enjoy themselves was very very rewarding. I hope we can return to Camp Scully in the future to see the trees grown in and the path still cleared. It was a great experience and i look forward to continuing to do things like this!
