The Teva Experience (2005)
by Ben B., Nicole B., Ivan L. & Mira T.
The Night We Arrived
It was a six hour bus ride to Teva, and when we finally got there we wanted to see if all we had heard was true. We arrived right in front of Kauffman, the building where we would be staying. It was one story and pretty long. Right before we got out we found out who we would be rooming with. Everyone was thrilled. We dragged our belongings out of the bus and hauled them into our rooms. After that all the boys had a snowball fight (the first snow of the season). As we threw our snowballs some teachers came out of the Yert (a circular building) and we threw snowballs at them. Of course, they started to throw some at us, too. After that we all settled down in our beds with great expectations for the next day.
 
  The First Light
When we went to bed it was as dark as night could be, but when we woke up the sun was shining through the window of our bedroom. But the room was FREEZING! We went to breakfast and then Mrs.Pugach and Mrs.Pransky took us on a short hike half-way around the lake. Afterwards, we sat in a gazebo talking, and waited for the three other schools to arrive. Finally, we heard tons of cheering and other noise and saw the busses pulling into the site. On our way back to our cabins we played a short game with another school and then had some free time while the other schools were unpacking.
