Hermit Island
by Mr. Sagarin - 21 Oct 2006

The seniors spent a week on Hermit Island, Maine,studying tide pool zoology with 120 seniors from 8 other Waldorf schools, including those from Atlanta,Ann Arbor, Chicago, and Toronto.

We cooked and cleaned as a group, sat around a warm campfire, awoke early and cold to creep around on slippery wet seaweed looking for sea stars, urchins, lobsters, crabs,snails and other sea life.

We heard Gary Lawless read poetry. We talked about big issues around a big campfireóhow to make the world a better place. We lay on our bellies late at night on a pitch-black dock totrail our hands in water full of bioluminescent plankton.

This trip, an annual event for seniors, was one of the highlights of high school for these students.
