in and out of the woods

 we took our class, or rather some of our students, into the woods. two stayed overnight with us. our sister program joined us, they had four overnighters. four adults, six teens, and a camp to ready for the summer school kids.
 "our" camp is part of a boy scout camp.
 the biggest job is putting in the dock, and the morning we did this, the temperature started out in the low 40s. by this time, mid morning, it was still cold, but the 50s are a bit better.
one student said his heart was beating hard, racing from the cold.
he was a wee bit worried, but i reassured him.
i didn't go in.

 this is a stuff sack, from the 70s
 beautifully sewn
 patches from summer trips, camping, in the u.s. northeast and canada
a funky treasure, something i might have made. but i didn't.
