This past Friday we had our very first crew meeting! Everyone met at Gracelyn’s house for a get to know you bonfire. The first thing we did was sand our paddles as a group and chat. We sand down one side of our paddles so that, when we paint them, the paint doesn’t peel off. While sanding, we talked about what our summer will look like meetings wise and some of the girls’ goals for the trip, looks like there might be a night paddle and some fishing on the agenda. After we had successfully sanded our paddles, the guides set up the bonfire while the girls were talking with each other and doing the worm (we don’t know how that got started). We finished our beautiful evening with s’mores and talked about when our next meeting will be and what it will be about, something about menus perhaps... Stay tuned!
