Running 2:00 [3]
A good day today - 2nd day of the summer orienteering camp. We have 12 kids and two staff (Isak and Ethan). Yesterday they taught a class of very young kids (4-5 years old) using Animal O. It worked really well. They had a couple older kids too.
Today we had a meeting and talked about projects. Then Ethan had the kids work on the map of the library area. Then we took them to the woods where they trained for 3 hours. One kid got a little lost and I eventually found him on the perimeter road.
Tomorrow we will teach four classes: (1) a special needs group, (2) a grade 3-4 group, (3) a grade 5-6 group, and (4) a grade 4-8 group. There will be some training and some project work.

Note
I think we have passed the last bureaucratic hurdle on bringing over our second orienteering exchange student from Finland for the fall.
In other news, Isak arrived last night and set out by bike today to visit various Cambridge summer camps and convince them to work with Navigation Games this summer to spread the practice of orienteering! Ambassador par excellence.
Update: wow. Isak rocked it today. So far, he scheduled us to do an event with special needs kids at the Rainbow camp; arranged to teach 20 kids at the Moses Youth Center every Friday; agreed to provide a map scavenger hunt every week for the "Mission Possible - Solve It!" program; arranged a one-time event for the Frisoli Youth Center; confirmed that the Cambridge Community Center will send kids to the Magazine Beach navigation games every Wednesday; and agreed to send orienteering lesson plans to the Cambridge Food Program.
