When we first arrived at M.H we started of by eating lunch, because we all know how long of a trip it was. we also had really fun on the way there we played this game that they had a 5 minute tunnel so we all tried to hold our breaths and see who can do the whole tunnel, When we finished eating lunch at Marin Headlands we had a little meeting for our counselors to introduce themselves. In my opinion C.B’s Team RULED!! We also had time to unpack and make our bed. We played this really fun game where you had to try not to have the same animal hand symbol character as the counselor. Then we got to go on a mini adventure hike with our hiking groups and C.B we had lots of fun. when we finished on the beach we got a little free time. On the way back to our dorms, I spotted a heron. While we were on our tini hike we got our note books! i definitely circled the heron on my journal. Then after we had DINNER!!! After that we had an AMAZING time at a Campfire!! It felt like real camp!! I’m not going to lie the first night of sleep was pretty hard and there was a lot of coughing. The second night wasn’t so bad as the first night the was less coughing and it was less cold, which is ironic because the second night it was raining. There something called garbology. garbology is used so save and not waste food and drinks and napkins. We would do garbology after every meal (besides lunch.) On the second day of M.H we went to the beach to find trash to help the environment and we also had to find a treasure that we thought was cool to put in the middle of the circle or if we would want to keep it. The things we would use to put in the middle of our circle, we would use them to build a sculpture. Our group decided to build a unicorn because our groups name was called THE SPARKLING NUTELLA EATING UNICORNS!!!! After the beach we went on a 3.5 mile hike ALL the way into the MOUNTAINS! It was so BEAUTIFUL,PRETTY,AND AMAZING!!! You wish you were there! We got to see part of the golden gate bridge and most of the whole OCEAN!!! I also took many pictures for my blog too!! Then after our mini BUT BIG hike we ended at a mammal center. We saw many injured seals there, it was really sad. When we were done at the marine mammal center we got to have FREE TIME!!! I went to the beach and my dorms. Our dorms are so so beautiful!! After free time we went to go eat dinner!! the LAST day at M.H we had the amazing breakfast!! And unfortunately we had to unpack out of our dorms! For more memories Here are some of the picture’s our amazing chaperone’s took!
