•  Things I will remember about Keewaydin . . . . . .

The KEEC staff, General's Lookout, Lake Dunmore, Mount Mooslamoo, the cabins, rock climbing, the food (It was great!), the Campfires, The songs (“Don't Waste The Milk”, “SCAT”, and “Change” ,by Blind Melon.), The thick, green grass, my study group, the activities, the hikes, the cold, the warm, the mount Anthony kids (I wish I could forget them!), my cabin mates, smiles, the forest, Predator vs. Prey Survival simulation, Matt, Josh's mandolin, the good times, The E.A.I, which I can not talk about, it is secret, etc, etc, etc.

 

•  The KEEC staff were very nice. They led our study groups, helped in the kitchen, joked around with us, helped us in progressing our skills, and were supportive. The members of the staff we met were Matt, Josh, Tim, Alec, Ben, Greg, Lesley, Trevor, Katie, Lauren, and Kaitlin. At the campfire some staff members dressed up. Trevor was a Wild West Gunslinger; Matt was a kid, then a Docter. Tim was a rock musician, and Lauren & Kaitie were pirates. At breakfast on Wednesday, Matt was Star Child from Woodstock, NY. Tim was also Hobo Joe. There was other staff, the maintenance crew, but we did not meet them.

In Keewaydin, I learned how to do a Hobo Cookout. It was a cool experience. I feel good about doing it. I may never have the chance to do this again. I was a little disappointed because I did not get to have any Glick, the cool drink, and I made two burgers ground beef. (They fell off the stove, also known as a tin can.) But I still had a (kinda) good time.

The only way going to KEEC influenced my perspective of community was that I learned that there is such thing as a tree stump community. Communities are great, but besides the stumps, I did not learn much. I already knew all the stuff they taught. So I did not learn much except . . . . .
