Camping at Wellman Pond

A couple weeks ago, eight residents and two staff members set off for an unplugged camping experience at Wellman Pond. Residents were able to delegate duties and demonstrated great cooperation with each other.

Some of the duties entailed preparing meals. They cooked all the meals themselves over an open fire including hamburgers, turkey burgers, baked potatoes, chicken and vegetable kabobs, cinnamon rolls baked in orange peels, and pancakes.

All of the residents in attendance demonstrated great independent living skills. We held team meetings to discuss our perceptions of how we have assets that contributed to the collaboration as well as liabilities. In the evening, we enjoyed listening to the acoustic melodies of the residents as we sat around the fire and ate. There was great feedback from the residents who were grateful for the opportunity and are looking forward to planning our next camp outing.

Camping gear donations for the nature group would be greatly appreciated!
