Fall Break 2011 - page 2


                                                                                                                                     

This Fall Break I was part of a trip to the coast as part of training on how to use a Dept. of Defense Grant on how to conduct Super Field Trips. A super field trip is one that is many days. As I've done this kind of thing many times in my career (Camp Goddard, Scouts, Classroom Trips, and lately LPS Camp LuJo). But this trip was to train others on how to do it, and I learned a lot too!! We spent 4 days out on the trip. Below I'll take you on what we did.

We left on Sunday at 6:30 a.m. to be back at Lawton around 4... and we ran though CLOUDS of misquitos!! They covered the bus!! Glad I wasn't outside around that area...I'd have been drained of blood!! Well... we didn't get home by 4... we took a break right near the Henryetta, TX exit.... for 2 hours..
