Station Maine is heading out on expedition today. The Station is covering the food. I believe that every child has the right to be fed until they turn 18. The kids are each kicking in $100 of their own money to cover the costs of transportation to Erie, PA where we will crew on the Brig Niagara for a week.
Let me say that again. The kids are kicking their OWN money. Money that they have earned. Birthday and Christmas presents don't count. The earning of that money is its own experiential education and an essential part of what we need them to learn. You can earn money, you can save money, and that money can take you on wonderful adventures.
