CHA 8th

May 27, 2015 by Brent Freeman

IMG_2425[1]I have had the pleasure of teaching this group of middle schoolers for the past two years.  In these two years, I’ve gone on two Camptown overnight field trips.  The first being thier 7th grade 1-night trip to Shades State Park, an the final trip being the 8th grade 5 day backpacking trip through the Big South Fork.  It is greatly due to these trips that my students are the cooperative, determined and respectful individuals that they are today, and it has been exciting to see how much our students have grown in their ability to compromise, work together, and challenge themselves.  It is for these experiences with Camptown that our students are transforming into mature and dependable young adults.
