New Experiences

Every year this trip is always a little bit different, but this particular group has been even more out of the norm.

For one thing we don't have to make a big deal to get these guys to go to bed for the night. Each night everyone has generally in bed by 11:00 pm. The flip side of that is that they are bit of challenge to get out the door in the morning. We are supposed to leave by 7:00 am and that has not happened.

They have formed a good bond with their students and classes doing lots of interesting work and projects. As it is with every year the students develop a bond with our boys and it is bittersweet to see that come to end.

Our 6th grade boys got to go on a field trip right away to start the week and the 4th grader boys get to do the Super Hero Unit field trip to end the week. Each experience has been a good way for our boys to share with the DLSBS kids and show our talents while helping them develop theirs.

The Super Hero day is something we have never done before and the main hang up with this is that it is cold and rainy here in Montana today. The weather rarely changes the course of activities. They rarely have snow days despite nearly 80 inches of snow over the winter and the cold and rain will not dampen their outdoor experience. In that regard it is a very different culture beyond the obvious.

As we continue to battle the stomach bug we are starting to prepare to come home. After lunch most of the group will go to Glacier for the Ranger led hike. We have a few boys who have elected to stay at the school to work instead of go on the hike. Our day will wrap up at the Two Medicine Grill with Burgers and Shakes.

We will clean up the Bunkhouse and depart around 3:30 am for Great Falls to make sure we make our 7:10 flight. By this time tomorrow we will be well on our way to St. Louis.
