Hi Ania,
I love those books! I've read the stories, poems, speeches, etc. to my kids and some of the science, history and music/art parts--very thorough and well organized...I re-learned alot in reading through. Our middle school uses the curriculum to integrate classes thematically, though we're not officially Core Knowledge "certified".
Camping sounds fun--we just got back from your neck of the woods: Utah (Lake Powell), which was amazing. My husband thinks it's the most beautiful place on the planet. Kids learned waterskiing and wakeboarding and did some fishing. Our school starts tomorrow!!! I'm so nervous for my freshman.
