Metro High School Orientation It’s been quite an interesting day. I never expected clarity vs. purity to be a standing theme for camp activities. I used to think clarity and purity were just two random words to describe what something was like in essence. Now I see them as wide universes. They can mean just [...]

Metro High School Orientation Weaver’s Advisory At Camp Lazarus, we took a deeper look at the words purity and clarity.

Metro High School Orientation Miller’s Reflection All of us can probably agree that we had an interesting experience at Camp Lazarus.

Metro High School Orientation McAllister’s Advisory When we arrived at Camp Lazarus, the first thing we did was we got in our leadership teams and decided who was best suited to lead each module.

Metro High School Orientation Hogue’s Advisory Madlyn: There are more downs than ups in this trip. The ups were writing haiku, art, and funny conversations in the cabin. The downs are bugs, water testing, and falling off the bunk bed. Today was pretty fun. I still don’t like this camp but I won’t be totally dreading [...]

Metro High School Orientation Barkimer’s Advisory Aposhia: I think the skit exercise was the best team building exercise because everyone collaborated and thought outside the box. Kaylen: Clarity and Purity – we learned what each of them were. We compared them, debated over them, and experimented with them. In art, we connected them. Nate: [...]

In science, we learned the chemical meaning of water quality concerning purity and clarity. In language arts, we learned the structure of opinionated debate, discussing purity vs. clarity being possible. During art, our advisory collaborated to make sure [...]
