What did the retreat mean to me? It was a powerful experience, it showed me leadership, teamwork, and how we can connect to the world around us. I made connections from my life to nature, and created better relationships with some of my friends, as well as making new ones. It was a great experience and I'm very glad that I went. I found that the Katzie people were very interesting. I listened to great drumming and music.
What did I learn about myself? I learnt that I can shoot an arrow, paddle a canoe with my eyes closed, and be like Tarzan in the air. I learned how I'm a green. I learned how to be a leader. I also learned that in a team situation I work better when I listen and work off of the ideas of my teammates. I had a great time learning about what I can accomplish.
What connections to Science and Math did I find, or hear, or make with any experience that I had? I connected with watching the fish in the lake react with the frogs and the trees. To see an ecosystem up close and personal like that was amazing. It was great to see how the fish can live in the dead trees. I thought it was cool to see how all the mulch was because I know it had to be decomposed. I smelled the nature around me and could tell how pure and nice the oxygen was. I really enjoyed making these connections.
