This was a heavy camp-kinda week!
Beckett is away at Woodlands (sleep away church camp) until tomorrow morning. Zane did a "wet and wild" day camp through parks & rec all week. Quinn has been away at the Jeff Jordon wrestling camp all week with his team. They are driving home from Ohio right now!
Spencer, thank goodness, has been home this week - although since it's his last week before heading to Charleston to start his Citadel journey, he's been out socializing most of the week. We leave on Sunday and he starts his class/program on Tuesday. He's participating in the Excellence in Civil Engineering program (ExCEL program) for 3 weeks with 9 other students. This is part of a scholarship he was awarded and I'm so excited about this program! He will take most of his freshman year classes with this group of 10 and will have access to extra support (tutoring/mentoring/etc) through both the Civil Engineering faculty and also the upper-class members of this program. For the firs 3 weeks they will dive into Calculus and a series of Engineering seminars to help them learn about the different sub-disciplines available and a bunch of other cool topics. I think this is a pretty awesome program and can't wait to hear all about it! If you want to read more - Engineering ExCEL-lence at The Citadel | The Citadel Today
The following 3 weeks, he will participate with a much bigger group of kids in the Citadel Success Institute, which is an intensive orientation to the school. It also includes coursework and special events. More on this program when it starts mid-July!
I can't wait to get everyone back into this house tomorrow - even if it's short-lived, I'm going to enjoy the heck out of my the next couple of days before we shake things up again next week.
Here are a couple of pictures of my campers this week. :)
