One interesting thing that I did was blacksmithing. It was really fun to try something that I had no clue how to do. I learned how to canoe and blacksmith on this trip. I also learned how to cut down on your liquid and solid waste at meals. We did a lot of different activities this year. We didn’t do the pond ecology or the homestead. Instead, we did the blacksmith and the ropes course. I had a lot of fun this year at Ashokan.
