Alpine Adventures - Session 1

I spent the past two months again in Leysin, Switzerland working with 7-11 year olds in the AA (Alpine Adventure group). In the mornings I taught Mighty Math and in the afternoons, I either went on my own mountain adventures (by foot or by cycle) or went on various excursions with my students. Here are some of my favorite shots from Session 1.
 
The view from the balcony of my summer apartment never grows old



The calm before the storm...Hanging out at sunset at La Sarouche with the cows (pre-kid arrival)

A little rain never stops an Alpine adventurer

4th degree black belt Dennis showing off his tricks...note the three campers he is jumping over!
And this was dorm night...We (the boys dorm) had a Mr. Leysin contest. Here are all the candidates. (I was one of the judges.)
Overnight trip to Le Taney hiking back down through the cows
This is one of the most beautiful views from the Le Taney hike
Our kids at the overnight hut, Le Taney (Switzerland)
Mud entertained our kids for at least an hour...
Post mud-fight campfire with the kids
We taught them how to make s'mores!!
Nothing like a dip in a glacial lake!
Once the water makes you numb, swimming is awesome!
