Wakeboarding


We went wakeboarding in Ellensburg! Yes it is possible due to this private lake. I had a great time hanging out and doing something I love! Being one of the more experienced riders there I helped people learn how to wakeboard. I think overall we all had a good time and enjoyed a day on the water...but then again who wouldm't!

Climbing at Pershastin Pinnacles





Climbing at Pershastin Pinnacles was an experience of a lifetime. I am so glad that we had the opportunity to climb there with professionals. The climbs were a lot of fun. Also it was amazing that those special shoes ( the ones that made your feet like they were in hell) could hold your entire body weight on the smallest little indent or groove in the rock. It was also a great workout I burned around 1700 calories. Afterwards, we went to Leavenworth to eat at Gustoffs and relax after a long hot day.

Rockwall Day at Ellensburg H.S.





Rock wall climbing at the high school was a great experience to get us ready for Pershastin Pinnacles. We learned how to tie the correct climbing knots and correctly were the other safety equipment. We met Fred the professional climber that was going to be the main one helping us at the pinnacles.

Orienteering Day



Today, we learned how to read a compass and different types of maps. We also learned the different parts of a compass. We had to do various activities using the compass and some without a compass just reading a map of the campus trying to find different things on the campus map to answer questions as groups. Overall, I had a fun time and now know how to read a compass correctly.
