Naturally fun


Ben and Rachel graduated from our 8th grade in June and are here this week as Seek to Lead interns, assisting the teachers in Energy Quest camp. Today they planned a hike and games, collected and released Japanese beetles, and helped with water science activities. Yesterday was a trip to the neighbor's pond (found a frog and a leech!) - tomorrow damming the creek.

From our buddy program they both know how to work with younger children. I like watching them step into this role with greater responsibilities - sort of a friend "plus." Good humor and flexibility are required - and a sense of fun. Plus hanging out in the faculty room. They are naturals.
