The weekend before the start of school, the Class of 2021, along with 8 faculty chaperones, boarded a flight to Oakland and kicked off Oakwood’s annual 11th Grade Trip. Several hours and a bus ride later, the entire group, in sunscreen and life jackets, hopped in canoes for the first day of their Russian River adventure.
Regardless of the fact that this was the first time some of the students had ever been in a canoe, and others had not been camping since the 9th grade trip, everyone dove into nature with lots of laughter and good spirits. From campfires and stargazing, to s’mores and shout outs, it was an unforgettable weekend away from the madness of the city.
