2014 Week 2

Thursday was our first day out of water in a while. After a late start and breakfast at the teachers' cabins, we headed out to ??? beach. We each received a trash bag and were instructed to clean up about a quarter of a mile stretch of the beach. To be frank, the place was in rough shape. Five...

Today was the day we really gave back. We cleaned up the coast that takes on wind and waves from the Atlantic.
