Sunshine, Sunburns, and Great Memories

As the end of the year is approaching, the senior class was more than ready to hop on a plane and head to Puerto Rico for their class trip.  Although Campion life has its share of fun as well as a steady hustle and bustle, the students were ready for a new adventure.
 
The seniors experienced a variety of activities including horseback riding along the beach, paddle-boarding up rivers, exploring old San Juan, snorkeling in the Caribbean waters, as well as relaxing on beautiful sandy beaches. Jordi, a four-year Campion senior stated, “I really enjoyed paddle-boarding up the freshwater river and jumping off the trees into the water. At first, the height of the jump was intimidating, but when I finally jumped, my adrenaline started flowing!”
 
Conner, a three-year senior, expressed his favorite adventure saying, “My favorite part about Puerto Rico was going horseback riding with my best buds. We rode our horses through the rainforest and on the beach and enjoyed seeing all of the plants and wildlife God created for us.”
 
As the Seniors returned from their trip sunburned and tired, they were reminiscing about the memories that were made. Josie, a two-year senior said, “Even though we did all kinds of cool activities, some of the most fun memories were made in the hotel’s pool every night. We would pull people in until everyone was in the pool and then laugh until we cried having handstand contests and chicken fights.” The trip was full of great memories with great friends.
