Assateague Island #STEAMinthePARK

We're wrapping up an incredible Camp 3 at @AssateagueNPS and @CBFieldStation! It's been an amazing week, and we are happily exhausted. The educators and park rangers here have filled our hearts and spirits to the brim.

This week was packed with 6 fantastic programs: surf fishing , crabbing , seining and plankton labs , kayaking , marshland mudding , and a nocturnal hike . And that’s just the start! We also had an engineering design challenge, journaling, games, tutu-making, a Lego competition, campfires, and ice-cream making . Add in free time, new friendships, shared rooms, and delicious meals, and it truly felt like a slice of heaven on earth.

And did we mention that the weather, which had been scorchingly hot before we arrived, was perfect? Plus, the bugs were not as buggy as expected!

A special shoutout to Ambassador LeAnn! She almost won a $100 gift card for bravely venturing into the mud pool, but since the field station charged $150 to get her out, that gift has been... well, denied.

Tomorrow, Steve and I head to Camp #4 at Mount Rainier , taking with us a little sunburn, a lot of new friends, and countless smiles. There's always room for more smiles here! See you soon, Rainier! #STEAMinthePARK #FindYourPeople
