We had… Continue reading Upper Senior Challenge Sunday

Good Morning High Rocks I was super excited to get up to the dining hall this morning. While I typically make it up there fairly early for our daily meeting, I wanted to be sure I caught some of the mini guys coming in from their cabin overnights. As luck would have it, I was… Continue reading Good Morning High Rocks

Waikiki Wednesday Again! It was another great day on the mountain. I enjoyed seeing these new mini-men begin to figure out a few skills and other items in their activities. Most of them jumped on the Waikiki Wednesday theme day. You will see a number of Hawaiian-themed shirts in the images today. I work hard… Continue reading Another Waikiki Wednesday
