Catalina Departure Day

2/25 9:15 California time
We have just finished another hearty breakfast, cleaned our dorms, packed all bags, rolled up sleeping bags, and students are now participating/learning in the last labs of our program.
We are scheduled to hop on the ferry at approx. 11:30- getting us back to Long Beach at 2:00.
Our phone tree will start once we reach Long Beach!
The light sprinkles of rain started about 30 minutes ago, and we are keeping our fingers crossed that we will be ahead of the showers expected today!
Once again, we have just had a wonderful trip! Every student was on their best behavior, and everyone had a great time! We learned a lot, did a lot, and saw a lot! Your child will come home with some great stories to share with you! Be sure to ask about: Gaga ball, Manly (the bison), the hike, the bon-fire, plankton, sharks, finger eggs, the birthday cake, squid ink, tree bark, edible plants, creatures of the night, sea glass, and the practice fire drill. These experiences will surely get your child talking! Next contact will be the phone tree!
