Freshmen return from overnight trips into the Everglades

Freshmen camped on beaches, slept on canoes on the bay and ate packaged burritos and macaroni and cheese. They observed dolphins, manatees, sharks, pelicans, osprey, ibis and herons by day, and shooting stars and bioluminescence in the water at night. They came back from their Outward Bound trips to the Everglades scruffy, grubby and craving hot showers. Everyone had a great time. Photo gallery
Seventy-four freshmen traveled from Everglades City into the Ten Thousand Islands area of the Gulf from Jan. 17-21; 71 students made the same trip Jan. 23-27. In Everglades City, they split into eight crews of eight to 10 students with two instructors per crew. Photo gallery
