11:00 am: We got a late start this morning and we are right now driving through Pomona. I will update this post when we stop for lunch. 3:00 pm: We just finished lunch in Blythe and are now doing the home stretch to home. Should put us home about the time mentioned in the parent packet. I think everybody is ready to be home now. 4:10 pm: Just past a sign that said 45 miles to Buckeye, so we should...

Alright, cut a leader a break. After a couple of late nights, some crazy activity on Monday and trying to keep up with 82 high school students, I ran out of time and energy to post about the last couple of days. And they have been great! Tuesday started out with our session happening in the morning instead of at night so that we could spend the entire day at Knott’s Berry Farm! The groups of...

There has definitely been plenty to do! After breakfast and the Monday Morning SOAP, we got on the buses and headed to Raging Waters, with the average amount of sleep being 4 hours (leaders included).
