It’s really hard to believe how fast the past four weeks have gone. February is one of the busiest months in Enviro with the fast startup leading towards winter camp, the adventure show, MEC and our upcoming Navigation trip. Not to mention visits from alumni, Wilderness First Aid training, parent’s nights and NOLS coming in to our class. We have done a ton! That being said, and as busy as it has been, it has been one of the most enjoyable months of teaching I can remember. With the addition of the English component to the program, I LOVE not competing for the time and mental energy that often pulls at students in previous years away from the program while they miss class for trips, and really just want to be there with the group. It has been such an incredible treat for me as an educator to come to school every day with a group of 24 AMAZING students who want to be at school every day. Has it been challenging? Yes. Winter camp was AWESOME, but yes, challenging in all respects. But that is the fun of it. Embrace it. If things were easy, and it may be hard to grasp this, but you wouldn’t learn nearly as much. We are all going to look back at this month and say, wow, where did it go? But, man has it been fun to walk alongside and experience what the month has brought, learn from it and use it to frame our future adventures. There is A LOT to come. Maybe not all as busy as the first month has been, but I am confident that we are up for the challenge.
