Camp Loma Mar

Conner had the opportunity to go to 5th grade camp at Camp Loma Mar in the Santa Cruz Mountains this last week. He was excited, but a little nervous to go. I subbed all week for the 27 5th graders that stayed behind. Conner did the rest of the post. Me and Neal Patel. Getting ready to leave.
Me with all my stuff. That was a lot of stuff.

Getting on the bus . Ready to leave for a week.

On the bus, almost ready to leave. Get it over with.

Finally were leaving!!! See you in a week.

Were at Camp Loma Mar, that was a long ride.

Ryan Parisi, Neal Patel, and me getting ready to go to our cabins.

My cabin, not the cleanest but it got better. Things on the ground everywhere. Yikes!!!

Taking a picture of some seals, couldn't get close enough to get a good picture.

Lots and lots and lots of sea foam. It could've filled an actual swimming pool with it.

The tide pools had a bunch of crabs but the only good picture I got was this one.

This was the best flower I saw on the trip.

Getting in line for breakfast. The food was really good.

This was my naturalist, his name was Sparrow. He was really funny.

The naturalists at the campfire every night.

A picture of all the guys in our class that went. This was during teacher time.

Me in my beanie and jacket at breakfast.

The waves crashing against the little island.


(Jen again. He didn't add enough details for me! :) On Monday when they arrived they had lunch, played some games and went on a night hike. Tuesday, they went on the Oak hike They were supposed to kiss the HUGE banana slugs sometime during the week. Conner decided he'd do it too late, and didn't see another banana slug. He also did a solo hike that day. That was one of his favorite parts of the trip. It rained on Tuesday as well. Wednesday he went to the tide pools at the beach and had the barnyard boogie that night. He liked the barnyard boogie, but it was really loud!) Thursday he did the Redwood hike and they had their skit night. Friday morning was his favorite breakfast: French Toast and bacon! Then it was time to pack up and head home right after lunch! He came home with a smile on his face, very dirty laundry, needing a shower and really tired! It was great to see him be so independent and have such a wonderful experience!)
