At the end of the year, every grade at the boy's school participates in a campout. It is part of the experiental learning design of Evergreen. Myles' first grade class camped out in the gym and as they get older, the campouts get more involved.
Grady's class went away for a three day campout. He loved every minute of it. We are so incredibly lucky to be a part of this amazing school.
Warming up before they set off.

Lunch by the river
The camping spot was on private land. They were the only ones there and had access to a wood fired hot tub
