- Kid-Approved: After a unanimous vote, our young adventurers chose to immerse themselves in the wonders of the great
outdoors. - Educational Adventure: Guided by our leaders, children delved into the fascinating world of fire lighting, discovering the three essential ingredients: heat, oxygen, and fuel. We learned about the pioneering work of Unitarian Joseph Priestley in uncovering the mysteries of oxygen.

I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning.
