Today was the best!!!! We went to a lake (Embalse del Porma) to try out kayaking. It was many of the kids' first time in a kayak and one of them's first time in a lake!! I'm so glad we could introduce them to such a fun sport. While some groups were waiting for their turn they had a swim in the refreshing water - what a beautiful location!!! One of the boys told Okado it was the best day of his life!!! [...]

What a Blast! It was our first day with the new kids, and I got to do level tests. I love giving the level tests because I get to meet the new students, spend time with them, and learn a little about their personalities. I learn what they do and don't like, and it's just a fun way to talk with everyone before classes start. The youngest ones are always the most interesting. It's usually their first day at camp. and [...]
