Islandwood 2010

Welcome to Islandwood, Silverwood students!
See video at the bottom of the page.
Islandwood a school in the woods.
Oh what a great school!

Here we all are in a long line, hauling all of our gear in carts to our lodge, Mammals Den.
A beautiful trail to haul our things into camp/ school.

Home Sweet Mammal Den!


Friendship Circle :)
We were at Islandwood with 3 other schools. Two were small independent schools and one was a public school that is our neighbor in Poulsbo.


Making a group contract and writing down the agreement. Team Wind with Mr. Mike.
Flat Zoe came with us on our trip as well. Miss Cindy's little sis hitched a ride on Miss Cindy's backpack.

Scavenger Hut in the garden and green house.

Map reading skills using our books and the 3D map. The students lead us down to Blakley Harbor with a compass and their maps!
Team Bog


Garden Fun! Compost!
Team Bog with Miss Lily and Mr. Zach.
Nettles, Yum! Miss Lily was preparing the green poky leaf for the students and explaining the chemistry and botany behind the plants defenses.
Most of the group had some to try. Tastes like spinach.

Suspension Bridge!
Oooooooo! Aaaaaaaaaa!
Mr. Zach explaining the mechanics and engineering of the suspension bridge.

Team Rain,
Bush Whacking, a rare treat! No trails used here!
Most of the time instructors do not go bush whacking or off roading with the students, but team rain's instructors felt that they had a team that could work together and handle the challenge!
Fish prints using beautiful Salmon.
