Today we were pretty busy (as far as our schedule has been so far). We started some diversity training by watching a video that talked about people with different disabilities and how the "R" word has had a big impact in a lot of communities. The rest of the morning was spent at the water front. We got to help the life guards out by being different victims they could practice lifeguard saves on. I got to go canoeing with my friend Ali, and were told to tip the canoe so the lifeguards could practice running out to us and saving us. The water here isn't very deep at all, so we could touch the bottom on the lake where we were at when we "tipped." Other people tipped kayaks, did practice swim tests, pretended to drown or get severely injured.
After lunch we spent some time brainstorming as a group (food service interns) to figure out what type of nutritional education and cooking classes we wanted to teach. So far we'll be doing classes on ice cream (dairy), smoothies (fruit), pancake with toppings (fruit), pizza (colorful meals), and raisin cinnamon bread (cooking). We also tried out our home made ice cream in a bag recipe, but it needs a little bit of adjustment and more time, but we'll work the bugs out of that.
