Announcing this year’s Turkey Team: Adrian, Calvin, Jon, Ben, Drew and Daniel. These boys will work with staff members Phil Fairbrother and Nick Linscott to pit roast 5 turkeys for tomorrow’s Thanksgiving Day feast. It is an honor to be selected for this responsibility – and a lot of hard work. Check out their itinerary below:
Stay tuned for more Turkey Team details and some photos from their all-night experience.
Last week was wonderfully busy here at Cherokee Creek, kicking off with a Family Trek and wrapping up with our final Family Seminar for the year.
Highlights included:
-Eleven families kayaking, rafting, hiking, working through low-ropes challenges and enjoying some great fellowship on the Family Trek
-Family Seminar sessions including sharing of family stories, multi-family groups, a session just for siblings and discussions about the lessons of the Teacher with our Therapists and Counseling staff.
-Our annual celebration of Thanksgiving with a great Dillard House feast
-On and off-campus family visits (including a little karaoke…)
What a great fall weekend full of great outdoor treats! Students and staff took full advatage of our volunteer agreement with the Forest Service. The boys headed to Earl’s Ford for a service project on both Saturday and Sunday. After cleaning up campsites and the river bank, our tricksters took some time to practice their whitewater canoeing and fly fishing skills where Warwoman Creek meets the Chattooga River.
To celebrate Halloween staff and students gathered around the fire for S’mores on Saturday night. What a great sweet treat!
