Celebrating the Summer 08 Expedition

Our two-week summer camp ended with a celebration on Aug 2 out on the PCEI campus. It was not really an "Expedition" in the full ELS sense, more a 'taste of an expedition.' Like an expedition each camp day was structured like an ELS school day and the children were engaged in an integrated curriculum related to sustainable agriculture, learning a range of things, from growing "FAST plants" to doing some work in the community gardens. The celebration Morris country harvest dancing.

The Celebration was also a chance to mark the approval of the Charter and a shift to the next phase of the task -- opening a school.


Dancers take a bow.
