Similarly to WS, SSIS has a sort of activity week in which the students head outside of the classroom and presumably into the wild. WS definitely had an advantage here because we lived in the wild. It was an adventure just walking to school. Monkeys, torrential rains, rabid dogs, and steep, slippery slopes kept you alert at all times.
Here at SSIS, my students are hauled in by buses or driven in cars from various locations and walk on paved streets to get to school. EASY! Our "camp" was similar in nature. It was three days, two nights about an hour from school. We were sleeping in tents, but the rest of our time was quite far from a camp scenario. Even more ironically, due to the continuous rain and shabby tents, several students slept inside on the second night. We went to a marina and slept on the lawn. All other activities were very summer campy and team building themed.
I had a ton of fun hanging out with the seventh graders. They are funny people! They are high maintenance at times but know how to have a good time.

And now, one more week of school, and then a week holiday! We're headed to Beijing to visit our neighbors from Woodstock!
