Camp Day 2 – Wednesday July 22 (Total Eclipse of the Sun)

Today there was a solar eclipse. We were expecting it in the early morning, but it happened sometime in the afternoon. I saw part of it, but missed the 6 minutes or so that the sun was mainly obscured. It actually never got dark outside though, as we are a bit south of the complete eclipse.

There are about 100 students in the camp, They are divided into six groups. In the morning and afternoon, students are either in class or in activities. Three groups each have a separate class with a Canadian teacher, while the other three groups are together for activities, where the emphasis is on outdoor or physical activities and applying their English. Classes went very well. In the evening, I took some campers for a night hike, and then returned to hold a drawing class. It was a fun, exhausting day.
