This morning we woke up to the pleasant surprise of a cleaning job sign up. We spent the morning hard at work cleaning every part of the dorms from top to bottom. We had to leave the dorms better than we found them, as the Spring Street students will be returning soon.

Once again, there was bagels and cereal on the menu for breakfast. We went through all the cream cheese (shocker!) it is a hot commodity.

Next we sat down to write many thank you cards to show our appreciation for the many people who were with us on this journey. It was an insightful reflection on all of our guests and the people we have met on this trip.

After working so hard on thank you cards, we replenished our energy with a final lunch. Many people chose to eat the leftover pasta salad. We then departed for a fun afternoon at San Juan County Park Beach, to loosen up for our presentation later in the afternoon. It was too cold to swim, so many of us chose to relax on the rocky bluff. When we were descending the rocky bluff, one of us tripped over a short king.

We then returned from the beach to collect our algae pressing that we made earlier in the week with Dr. Guenther. Unfortunately some of our pressings were moldy, but for the most part we were happy to see how they turned out!

Then we settled down for the final push on our projects, which we will be presenting at 5:00pm today to an audience of our cohort, families, and other guests we met during the camp. After that, we will be having a barbecue and then head to the beach for a final sunset together. There, we will sit by the fire, and roast marshmallows.

Thank you to Emma, Adam, Caroline, Tom, Cassandra, Riley, Cara and Misty. Thank you to all of our amazing guests who have taught us so much, and thank you to our fellow campers. We will all miss you so much and we hope you have a great rest of your summer!
