Preparing for FLOW

As one of our FLOW 2010 students reminded the world via Facebook today, "T- 38 hours until FLOW and lifejacket tan lines." I don't know if the students or Alzar School staff are more excited.

The Alzar World Headquarters has been a flurry of activity over the past week- and we are almost ready. Student lesson books are bound, the oil is changed on the van, we used 12 oz. of seam seal to waterproof group shelters, and Pebbles has a new bandanna to greet the students and their parents. We have meetings arranged with representatives from Idaho Rivers United, and a Salmon Fish Hatchery near Cascade, ID, the home of Kelly's Whitewater Park. We went to the grand opening (along with almost every other Idaho boater) and were very impressed with all the town had done to make the park happen.

Looking past FLOW, this summer is packed with activity for the School as we complete current programs and plan for the launch of Alzar School's first academic year in the Fall of 2012. Summer programs include FLOW and FLOW+, the Camp Cup Challenge and a fund-raising event in NC, and tours of High Mountain Institute and Colorado Rocky Mountain High School.

Stay tuned for photos and posts from the students!
