The U.S. National Whitewater Center

We had a great day today.  The students went to Charlotte Country Day School (CCDS) at 8:00 this morning and were given a quick tour of the school.  Then they boarded a bus and headed to the US National Whitewater Center - www.usnwc.org.  Once there they did the huge climbing walls and then went rafting.  The day began quite chilly, but thankfully warmed up by rafting time.  After the thrilling rafting adventure, we all ate lunch outside and enjoyed the beautiful sun shine.  It was an amazing field trip and the kids really got to know each other really well.  I'm confident the participants (students, teachers and chaperones) will all sleep soundly tonight!!

Buddies already!

Sarah Campbell Tucker, Morgan, Regina & Daniela


Let the climbing begin - strait up!  Not easy for those afraid of heights. But everyone did it!


Regina climbs almost to the top.


Morgan really is spider-man!


  Here are the rafters ready to go - wet suits and all.



Yes, they got wet!!


 The girls' boat was all smiles and did very well.


This is what the students  rafted down today!
