Today was really crazy. I went up on the cliff and I learned how to use my speed check to control my speed. It was really sick, a lot of people got the opportunity to go to the top of the mountain and snowboard down and that was gnartastic (really, really, awsome). I have fallen and that was not cool but I just got back up and tried it again. I also helped people out when we went up the lift. I can’t wait untill day 3 so I can shred some more.

Snow day #2
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010Day 1 in the snow
Tuesday, March 30th, 2010Today we went snowboarding and it was really fun. Everyone had a fun time and that was cool because when one person is having fun they can encourage others to have fun too.

Ice Skating and Zoo Hand
Monday, February 1st, 2010The pure awesomeness of this sport is just awesome. This past Saturday, I was able to enjoy this activity with my buddies from Aspen Youth Experience (AYE) thanks to New York City Inner City Outings (NYICO). Sadly though, AYE, our partner organization, had to close down their offices to the kids of the inner city areas due to this rough economy. So before they closed down their doors, they came on a trip with us to go ice skating at Bear Mountain, New York.
This trip spanned from the early, lazy Saturday morning to the late night of the day. When the journey began, I was with one of my comrades. Once we arrived at Bear Mountain, I ran to get my ice skate rentals but they were the most uncomfortable skates around. It was all because they weren’t laced correctly. Then just as I’m about to bust out my ice skating mojo, I discovered that my comrade didn’t know how to skate. So I was asked if I wanted to be his teacher. I, of course, accepted this challenge.
I started off showing my young pupil how to master the art of ice skating. He fell a lot. Amazingly, he never gave up even though he continued to fall on the ground. It was impressive and he was able to go around the rink a whole time without falling.
After the ice skating experience, some people hiked along with me to the “Trailside Zoo.” A ton of awesome animals were in cages at the zoo. There was also a zoo-house where the weirdest thing had happened. You see, I was looking at a fish tank with toads in it, when I saw a hand inside the tank! It creeped me out. So I called some of my friends over to look. They of course didn’t believe me – but then, as they looked closer, the hand showed up and everyone got really scared.
The whole day went really well. Thanks NYICO.
Peace- Diego
Being New At CampInteractive
Monday, December 22nd, 2008My first day inside the place was yesterday December 21 2008.It was cool to see the inside of it. Today is my second day here and its really cool!!!! I like the people here. They’re pretty awesome :] They’re also really nice. Being new isn’t really cool because you don’t know anybody that well,and it is going to take me a while to get to know everyone because I am a shy person. I would like to know how to build my own website because I have been trying to do that for a while. -Johana D. :]]
My first day here I went on a hiking trip. I didn’t go with my best friend Johana because she couldnt go. Well the hiking trip was very fun. It was on the 8 of november (on saturday). It was raining and very wet. I had so much fun. I met a lot of new people, I was very scared and nervous the only people I knew was Kelly and Lewis. I did warm up and talked to a few people. I fell a lot I have a few bruises but it was all worth it . I had so much fun. It was my first time hiking. I totally hope its not my last. ~Amanda B. :)

We started this tutoring experience about a month ago, and each week we come, we learn something new about each of our tutees. The kids here are great and really cooperative. They appreciate all the help we offer and are really nice, sweet kids. We hope that as the year progresses we have even greater experiences and maybe join them in weekend events!
P.S – THE SNACKS HERE ARE GREAT = )

My Bestfriends
Tuesday, December 9th, 2008Hi my name is Allen. I was apple picking. It was fun. My four friends helped me. I was so happy I was with my closest friend ever Kamari and Joey. Also, Vannesa was there. They where my best friends ever, but they moved to North Carolina. So now I just come by myself to the community center with Kariem and Taireik, they come here to the center sometimes and I am lucky Kariem didn’t move. Now those are my only friends I have but it was fun apple picking and I climbed a lot of tree’s to get apples. I like apples.
Hiking Hook Mountain
Tuesday, December 9th, 2008We were hiking in Hook Mountain. It was very foggy. When everyone went to the highest peak we saw a little town. a few hours later we played a game called camoflage the person that is it has to close their eyes and count to 10 then they have to find the kids that hide.after that isaiah found a slug and licked it with his tounge eww!!. threw water at someone and she pead in her pants. Everyone kept on slipping on the ground and when we went back to the bus, everyone was exhausted. Then we went home.

Today we hiked hook mountain the best mountain out of all mountains. We saw mushrooms,cacti,vast mountains,raging rivers and streams.Countless trees and leaves. It was my very first trip i met so many people and they where all friendly. The most exciting part of the hike was “HEAVEN”. That was the peek of hook mountain , it was so beautiful being above the clouds. The wonderful designs of the spider web the awsome design i think that those memories will stay with me forever. -Written by isaiah brye
