More from Grade 6 in Yellowstone

Friday, May 7th, 2010

Ben Brock sends us this note from the Grade 6 spring trip….

Brrrrrr!

Despite these 6 inches of snow, the 6th graders had a great day in

Harriman State Park today.

Joel Kaserman spotted a Grizzly Bear and everyone got to see it!  Word

is that there might even be some video coming home with the group

tomorrow.

Speaking of coming home, the group is aiming to be back at Riverstone

by 3:30 and will be on the road early so they can take their time on

the roads.  Robyn will update me from Blackfoot and Twin Falls as they

get closer.  I will pass on updates to you as I get them.

Sounds like this has been a wonderful experience for the kids and for

the teachers, who can’t wait to get back again next year!

Riverstone’s winter trips get under way

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

The winter outdoor season has started at Riverstone with the traditional Gd8, three-day snow shoe trip. Snow, snow and more snow was order of the first day, but the students still made incredible progress…..even Mrs Elam who had to have an extra sled just for her bed!

Why is Ben so Excited?

Friday, August 28th, 2009

Ben Brock has done a deal! Riverstone just took delivery of the first batch of its own Outdor Equipment: North Face tents.

Over the next few years, Riverstone will be investing in a whole range of outdoor equipment that can be rented by students and families.

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

Grade 8 students departed from school earlier this morning on their winter outdoor trip.

A very brave Ben Brock (suffering from Flu symptoms but well medicated) led the group to Idaho City for their three-day adventure in Yurts.

 

Take a look at Ben’s blog when he returns at the end of the week for more information the trip.
