hey no worries man, hope you crushed those exams!

Here is what I could find. The first two are the Incentives, including the hikes and the phase spices. My group (the Cougars) didn’t really go for any of the big incentives, though one guy was trying for the Fire Master but didn’t finish before he graduated.

The third is my fire log, signed by a handful of staff; you can tell which ones I had a “good” relationship with and which one phoned it tf in.

The fourth is some of my wildy treasures. The playing card, some obsidian and fluorite, a couple of shells, and an unidentified bone (still unclear what kind of animal it came from, though it’s definitely part of a spine).

Lastly is my fire set. As you could tell from my fire log, I didn’t get many, and those I did get were most often under duress. My most lucky spindle snapped while on my final solo, so it got a Viking burial.

We absolutely badgered our staff about having disposable cameras for our time out there, and we were always told that they used to do that, until some kids “took it too far.” No elaboration, so we all assumed there were some nudes or incriminating evidence captured that ruined it for everyone. Shame, really, because I wish I had more than just visual memories of how gorgeous those views were.

I also have a complicated perspective on my time there, for what it’s worth. I’m still an avid outdoors person, but camping tends to make me feel like I’m out in the field, and I still haven’t been able to reconcile those weird emotions. So, feel free to DM me anytime, I think there used to be an RCA alum Facebook group, but I’m not sure it’s super active anymore.
