Journal: Reflections and Observations

This is the second journal entry about the process of my senior project.  It is about all the countless memories, great lessons, and my over all wonderful experience doing field work.  I, myself learned how to surf kayak, Eskimo rolling, and rappelling form cliffs.  Personally I achieved my goals by learning new skills and challenging myself mental and physical. But I also learned how to teach  teenagers how to enjoy nature and learn skills that will help them throughout their life's. My field work was that I would participant in a week long youth camp at Ocean State Adventures.  Ocean State Adventures is a outdoor recreation story that rents, sells, and offers youth camps. This camps are for youths  that wanted to learn how to kayak and rock climb.  The week long camp was entitled "surf and turf".  The first three days were do with kayaking and the last two days with rocking.  When I was formally will the skill I would help the teens and when I did not feel conformable or did not know the skills I would become a participant. The week went by fast having so much fun. I walked away from the camp with a great self knowledge of myself.  I learned much about myself and what I had to offer people.  I enjoyed working with the teens and I am looking forward to maybe someday working with teens again.   

Here are two video's of my fieldwork: The first video is of a teen Eskimo rolling with me in the cold Bristol harbor water. The second video is of me Eskimo rolling.
