We start out on the bus, with Harper sitting next to me. During the bus ride Harper and I did some drawings and played with some stickers that I had brought. When we got there we took our stuff to our cabins and started on a hike. The hike was long but we took some breaks. We played a game in a feild and stopped to look at the lake. We had lunch and then zip lining, rock wall climbing and dinner. After dinner we had a professional storyteller tell us some stories and then went to  the Sleeping Bear Dunes. The next day we greeted the elementary kids and spent the morning canoeing. While we canoed it was raining but at least we got to see a beaver. We had lunch, then had team building and human foosball. After that we had dinner and a campfire. On our last day we played a survival game had lunch and left. On that bus ride Harper gave me a makeover. We also launched bottle rockets (but I forget when).

I learned that if bottle rockets don’t have fins they just spin and don’t go very far. If I had done something differently with my rocket it would be to experiment with how much water I put in the top. I learned about teamwork and how to better work with and understand others. You have to work in a team when playing foosball, I mean a mental team as well as a physical one. How big is a beavers teritory, or do they have one? How long should it take the average person to climb a twenty five foot tall rock wall? Where did the Sleeping Bear Dunes legend originate?
