What is a Placement SAE?

I never really knew what a placement SAE was let alone know what it looked like. Over the summer Mr. Honeycutt invited me up to go see some SAE projects. 

Near the school they have this really awesome camp, camp FITCH. It is an ohio YMCA camp, its not very far from the state line, but still in pa, and right along lake Erie. Two of our students had placement SAE's here. Kelsey worked with the horses and Drake worked with maintenance/ landscaping. 

Lets talk more about what happens at the camp. This comes directly from their website. " As a part of the international YMCA movement and an important element of Youngstown’s strong Association, Camp Fitch has grown a lot since it’s founding in 1914 on the banks of the Little Beaver River. Although the location changed to the shores of Lake Erie over 85 years ago, we still live by the Christian values upon which we were founded to model and instill in kids.

More than 16,000 people visit Camp Fitch for at least a few days every year through our resident summer camp, classroom field trips, retreats and other outdoor adventures. Many of these campers tell us they think it’s the best place in the world. This sentiment isn’t because of the fun and games — rather it’s due to the sense of wonder generated by the deep, lasting relationships forged here and a spiritual resonance so often stimulated by the time spent in the outdoors. The impact of a Fitch experience can last a lifetime. " https://campfitchymca.org/about/ 

Young people come to this camp yearly to learn about the outdoors, agriculture, and environment. This camp is not only fun, but a really awesome learning experience for all that attend. There are horses, cows, sheep, goats, and rabbits at the barn. There is an environmental center that hold snakes, and some other really cool animals. It is really awesome that these students were able to help others grow at this camp.
