Weekend Full of Excitement

On Friday afternoon, the students were getting prepped and pumped for the camping trip they were about to embark upon. There was a race to see who could get the most tents up the fastest. Then a former Upward Bound counselor returned for an action packed game of Mafia. The students got to go run some errands and get some stuff that they needed for the trip.

The students and counselors set off for Roy Lake Campground at 8:30 a.m. Saturday June 5. When they arrived, they set up camp, had some lunch, and played Ultimate Frisbee and Bean Bags.

The afternoon was filled with history at the Fort Sisseton Historical Days. They saw different tents full of items and food. There were also different attractions; like learning how to crack a bull whip.



They went back to the campground for a night full of fun. As the grill was being fired up, Ultimate Frisbee and Bean Bags were played again. Then the brats and hot dogs were ready to be served. Following supper, the tug-o-war rope was tugged, and, as night fell, Mafia was played around the campfire. Lights out came next.

On Sunday, everyone woke up at 8:30 a.m. and took down camp. The vans left and came back to Northern around noon. The afternoon was full of relaxation and napping after a long weekend. That night they got to travel to Wylie for a night of Go-Karts and Mini Golfing. Sunday also welcomed the arrival of new students.

On Monday, the students were back in school for a great day of classes. Mr. Osman was back in class for computers, and the students started a paper for reading/writing class. Then in the evening the students and counselors went to watch Sherlock Holmes.
