Hi All!

Today, the Island School community spent its last day together for the next three weeks. The day started with many opportunities to strengthen and release after our rigorous week. Rennie led some yoga in the boathouse, a perfect backdrop especially with this morning’s rain (yay! more water to shower with!). After this, Tyler led ab workout bootcamp, involving a lesson on nutrition.  Others slept in, Continue reading →

Greetings Parents! We started off  this  wonderful Saturday morning with extended run/swim tracks.  After breakfast, we had our Saturday morning classes. For  today’s classes, we had “Bizarro” Research day.  In other words, we attended a research class DIFFERENT from the one that we are normally in! LOL After lunch we had a community meeting, and learned about our  kayak, Down Island trips and academic rotations.  Kayak group 1 and Kayak group 2 will be heading off on Monday (K1 to kayak, K2 to Down Island).  We know we’re all going to miss each other, but we’re still very excited! After extended exploration time, we went to the marina for a fun cook out! We grilled up some burgers and veggie  burgers. After dinner we enjoyed a rare treat of some home made brownies!  Upon returning to campus, some  students chose  to catch up on valuable  rest, and others went to boys dorm beach to swim and enjoy bonding time! Hope your day was as good as ours! See you next  time.

Today was a much needed sleep in after an exhausting couple run-swims in the previous days. While few took advantage of the sleep in, the other adventurers took off for a early morning free dive at Tunnel Rock! For marine ecology, the class went scuba diving but this time took Continue reading →

With the days of tiring exercise, Sunday is simply the most amazing day of the week, being able to sleep until 12, creating new ways to block the sun from dorms or at least your face. However with homework looming over head for the next day I Continue reading →

On Saturday morning we began our day with long morning exercise. Run track did a long run to Deale’s Point, and we ran up to 8 miles. Swim track jumped off High Rock, and then swam to 4th Hole and back. They also did some underwater rock carrying. We then had a long research Continue reading →

Today began, as always, with morning exercise. The community gathered together for a “modified run-swim.” We all ran to the marina and swam the current cut, got out of the water and ran back up to the bridge to succumb to Nick’s intense mini-psycho. Afterward we did Continue reading →

Today was a regular Thursday schedule. Even though nothing unexpected happened, students were busy studying for math “game day” and finishing memorizing slides for their Marine Eco. fish ID quizzes. I keep thinking about how great yesterday was and how fun this weekend is going to be. My advisory experienced the world of underwater rock carrying for Continue reading →
