ECC Campout

We arrived at school on Saturday around 1pm to set up for the big "Campout". We expected about 60 kids, so we cleared out some classrooms and tried to psych ourselves up. This is my team (and future winners!!)

Team Name: The Crazy Robots

For one challenge, I had to memorize this list of Korean words. Piece of cake.

Starting with a spread out newspaper, one teacher and 3 students had to balance. Progressively, the paper gets folded smaller and smaller, until...one child on my back, one in each arm, and one foot on the paper. Piece of cake.

Balloon dodgeball - a game my kids made up during free-time. Possibly the dumbest game ever.

There were some more competitions, games, and a talent show. The Crazy Robots came in FIRST place!

Bed Time! The initial plan was for the teachers to sleep in the rooms with the kids. When our boss realized none of us brought mats (because we don't even own them), he suggested we just share with the kids. "Hey Cindy! you know that cushy mat your parents sent you with? Mind if I cozy up and share?" We opted to hang in the staff room and our boss, feeling bad, let us leave for the night.

The next morning, after taking 60 hungry, sleepy kids to the park in the rain, we came back to school for breakfast (fried rice, kimchi, soup, and egg sandwiches). Around 9:30, all the kids were picked and we were free. It was a good time.
