Where in the World are the Winterim Groups?

Internet Cafe with no wall plugs.

Today the RUaDN group took a trip to Jitterbeans Internet Cafe in Marlboro, NH. There, we worked on our upcoming slideshow for the school assembly on Friday. We added pictures from each Winterim, as well as a couple of pictures of the afternoon activities that boarders participated in after the day was over. our group needed to find some music for the slideshow, as well as non-copyrighted version that would be posted on the blog. We had a great chance to spend the day outside of the classroom, and it was a beautiful day. We all needed that!



LAzer Tag

On-campus Winterims loaded 3 buses and traveled to Lazerzone in Marlborough, MA. Split into three groups - Blue, Orange, and Green - each student played a game of laser tag, ate pizza and played arcade games for tickets. We think Joe (and his "crew") had the most tickets coming away with an ugly purple blow up alien for 5,000 tickets. Ty and Connor had a blast squirting invisible ink over unsuspecting students. Several students found themselves "trapped" in the floor to ceiling playground. After a long night of lazer tag, students are looking forward to large winnings at Casino Night tonight.

Going Green in the French Alps

Today, the 17th, Going Green in the French Alps is going to be taking part in a variety of activities. In the morning, they will be all constructing an "organic shelter", which I assume is something like a tree-fort. In the afternoon, they are taking a 3 hour walk to a farm tavern. At the tavern, the owners make their own goat and sheep cheese. They will take a scenic tour of the farm, and then dine at the tavern with solely organic foods. It sounds like they're eating very healthily and having a great time thus far.

Tragedies Strike in Digital Photography!

Who would think that taking photos would be so dramatic? Here, straight from the hotel rooms, we have some footage of the toilet and bug crises at hand. Wish everybody in the hotel luck.
