T.O.R.C.H. After-School Field Trip to Lake Jocassee

On March 20, 2010, Fourth Presbyterian Church sponsored a field trip to Lake Jocassee. Eight children from The T.O.R.C.H. After-School Program participated in the trip. Four adults from Fourth Presbyterian and two Greenville County Recreation employees were chaperones. On our journey, we stopped and viewed Table Rock Mountain. When we arrived at our destination, we prepared a scrumptious lunch including grilled hot dogs. The side-dishes were carrots, watermelons, cantaloupes, apples, chips, cookies and juices. After lunch, we were off on the pontoon boat to view the waterfalls. Tim, Kathy, Joe and Jared share their knowledge of nature with the children. Some of the children were allowed to pilot the pontoon boat under the watchful eyes of Captain Joe. The lesson learned –children need an education to be a captain of the pontoon boat. The children had a wonderful time maneuvering the pontoon boat.
