Camp St. Christopher

Anna in the salt marsh/mud pit

Last week Anna went to Camp St. Christopher for two nights with her school.  Teachers and volunteers take the Lower El (1-3 grades), Upper El (4-5), and Middle (6-8) on different trips.  The Lower El, Anna's grades, go to Camp St. Christopher for two nights.

Camp St. Christopher is on one of our barrier islands, Seabrook, and is located on 314 acres of beach, maritime forrest, and undisturbed salt marsh.  It is a pretty special place and Anna had a blast!

The kids participate in the Salt Marsh/Mud Pit and how much fun it is to get muddy!  They also learn about our ecosystem, reptiles, sea critters, and have family style meals, and of course campfires!

We really, really appreciate the teachers who volunteer to put this together and the parent volunteers who go (it is so popular with the parents that they have to turn away volunteers).  It is such a great way for the kids to bond and learn about the environment and themselves!  Anna is truly lucky to have such a great experience.
