A note from the Wild Coast 1B
Posted by AAVE Leader in : Wild Coast Discovery , trackback
Dear Friends and Family,
We are on our seventh day of the trip having a wonderful time. After getting picked up from the airport, we drove to a campsite on the outskirts of Levenworth, Washington. We got to know each other a little better through games, and team building activities. The next day we spent on a hike, where we could overlook the Levenworth, which is themed like a German village. The kids all did amazing on the hike. Not even one complaint with many many more than a few feet of elevation gain. You all should be very proud. The next two days was spent tubing down the treacherous (Class 1), Levenworth River, swinging on a rope swing, playing ultimate frisbee, capture the flag, and swimming in a lake.
We then got the troops together and headed to Whistler, Canada. For the past two days we have been snowboarding or skiing next to the pros, or checking out the downhill bikers. Each child has their own characteristic that is bringing positivity to our team. Marisa is a great soccer player, and has been keeping up with all those crazy boys. Sarah, is such a joy to be around, not one complaint and does everything she is asked without hesitation. Alex R, has stepped up as a peer leader helping his peers out when needed. Alex S, is a natural leader, and always has a smile on his face. Angelique, always, always, is smiling. She is able to cheer up a room just with her laugh. Falon, has made allot of friends, and is always willing to be a part of the group. Anna, is willing to try anything, and is very outspoken. Jake has also stepped into a leadership role. He is always willing to lend a hand, and wants everyone to always be happy. Ryan has a smile that is contagious, he smiles and it brightens up the room. Guillermo, is doing wonderful, he makes the rest of the kids laugh all the time, and is a strong kid, not one complaint from him. Harrison, is very outgoing, he has a way to make everyone laugh, and seems to be able to have fun no matter what the situation. Finally, we have Scott, who at the beginning was a little shy, but has gotten out of his shell and his personality is really shining through. Tal is solid as a rock aways a friend, positive and alway ready to contribute. The team is doing wonderful and we are all having a great time. Well our next step is to Squamish, to go climb tomorrow. So talk to you soon. WILD COAST DISCOVERY 1B
