Bounders
Max: 14
Fee: $280
Pick-up Location: Lincoln
Meets every Monday and Wednesday from February 25 thru June 3, 2020

This program is designed for students who want to spend more time in “Bounders Woods” working and playing in nature in a non-competitive environment with a like minded group. Each day starts with the option to participate in semi-structured high and low energy “warm-up” activities that allow students to unwind and decompress from the school day. After warm up, we break into small groups that work alongside each other on objectives from the “Bounders Mastery Paths”. These Mastery Paths are a compilation of age-appropriate outdoor challenges that students throughout Bounders history have practiced in Bounders Woods.

In our spring session, students may receive coaching and guidance on the following mastery paths: Fire, Knots, Group Challenge, Naturalist, Rock Climbing, Carving, and Expedition. The spring session is also when students help with the Bounders Maple Sugaring project. In addition to being introduced to a variety of outdoor skills, students will build confidence and cultivate a capacity for focused attention, goal setting, grit, teamwork and nature connection. When coaching students on the mastery paths, hard work, kindness, and a good attitude are our only expectation. Students get to choose their level of challenge. However, some students may want to set a goal of completing all of the benchmarks on a particular mastery path. If so, after school is the best time for small group and one on one mentoring.

Show Description

Fishmonger!" is a fairytale about a fairytale. It has been twenty-two years since the Great Storm ravaged the kingdom. Twenty-two years since King Hagan and Queen Bellanca fled in panic, leaving their people to their own devices. Twenty-two years since fish rained from the sky, covering the entire kingdom in the foul, unrelenting stench. When two mysterious travelers come across a particularly downtrodden and pessimistic little village, they bring a tale of liberation from the "unpleasantness" - a tale previously considered a myth. With food scarce and starvation imminent, a fellowship is selected to go on a quest, journeying far beyond the borders of the Kingdom, past the Labyrinth Forest, through the pass of Eternal Shadow, to the foothills of the Musky Mountains... to seek the Fishmonger and the salvation of their village.

This original show is written by our very own music teacher, Adam Brooks. Through humor and drama, this fairy tale explores the power of optimism, hope, and determination in the face of unpleasantness and despair, as well as the importance of community. Students will learn the skills of musical theater: singing, dancing, and acting while having fun within a supportive theater community. No experience necessary.

Note: Students are welcome to join another extended day program once the musical is complete on April 8th.

6th Grade Bounders Winter Expedition
Thursday, February 27 (8:15am) thru Saturday, February 29 (4:00pm)
Fee: $320
Max: 14 students

Bounders Expeditions are offered to each grade annually as an opportunity for students to learn and grow together on an adventure. For this 6th grade expedition, our crew will travel 2.5 hours north to the Hulbert Outdoor Center, in Fairlee VT where there will be ample opportunities for outdoor activities during the day and heated cabins to retire to overnight. The land around Hulbert is an ideal setting for students to utilize their winter bounders skills. Depending on the weather, each day might include tracking wildlife, snowshoeing, snow craft, or skating on the nearby lake which boasts a 4 mile skating loop! Living well outdoors in winter will be the key challenge and students will learn a variety of strategies for keeping warm, making good choices and working together as an expedition team. During meals and in the evenings, we’ll take shelter from the cold in the common house which also has space for indoor activities.

This is an ideal experience for students who enjoy Bounders during the school day and have an interest in overnight camping. No experience is needed in order to sign up. Students who sign up for this program will be well prepared for the 7th grade Bounders Expedition which is longer and even more challenging.

In addition, students will canoe, fish, explore and sleep outdoors in tents or hammocks. Students will help with camp cooking, fire building, and all of the other necessary camp tasks that support the group’s wellbeing. We’ll camp near our vehicles on the first night and, if the wind and weather allow, we’ll pack up our gear in waterproof bags and paddle out to a campsite on Student’s Island for the second and third night.
