Remembering Retreating

In late September, my AmeriCorps group gathered on the northern Oregon Coast to share four days of walking barefoot on the beach, telling stories around the campfire, indulging in delicious food, making hoola hoops, hiking, and of course doing some official AmeriCorps things like presenting our CAP projects. A unique part of the retreat were IP-led activities in which I got to teach bhangra dancing, and learn how to use a GPS, and to make hoola hoops, sand candles, and crocheted hats.Our retreat location was the beautiful and secluded West Wind.


WestWind had a great beach near the inlet to the Salmon River. Playing 4-square and "Wah" on the beach was so much fun.
