Madison Elementary School Principal Kimberly Gilmore and student, Ava Moton, joined us yesterday to talk about the fifth grade class trip to YMCA Camp Orkila this past Spring.
Principal Gilmore talked about the positive impact that students receive from going to camp. Ava, who is going into the sixth grade in just a few weeks, enthusiastically talked about all of the positive memories and experiences from camp. The range of activities the students were involved with included rope and wall climbing, seawater touch tanks, capturing plankton from the dock and examining them under microscope, beach combing, team-building and campfire activities.
