Throwback Thursday is taking us back to one of the wildest—and most unique—ways we gathered outdoors for Sukkot last week! 🌿⛺🐐
If you’ve been following along lately, you know we found reasons galore to gather outdoors for Sukkot, and one of the wildest—and most unique—was our 4th and 5th grade elective Sukkot Campout!
These adventurous students took the Sukkot tradition of outdoor dwelling to the next level, starting by harvesting fresh produce from the Farmette and turning it into a delicious soup for dinner. They headed down to the creek to gather branches and make their own lulavim, shook their lulavim and pears with Judaic blessings, set up camp, and settled in for an evening of games, a campfire, s’mores, and plenty of fun.
🔥 After all that, they were tired enough to pass out pretty quickly! 😂

The next morning brought a beautiful sunrise, berry oatmeal, animal feeding, camp cleanup, and even a campus trash pickup before everyone headed right back to class. Because sleeping at school may be an adventure, but it does not get you out of school the next morning.

From harvesting and cooking together to making lulavim, caring for our animals, sleeping under the stars, and waking up together on campus, it was a memorable way to celebrate Sukkot—and exactly the kind of wonderfully wild, hands-on learning we love around here. 💙
