Hey Everyone!

            Today, we finally got some good weather! We also had a guest counselor, Judy Gianforte, come in and help Dylan instruct kids in the woodshop. We split the campers into four groups that took turns in the woodshop over the course of the day. In the morning, those of us that weren’t in the woodshop split up into several groups. One group went with Chantelle and Rene to learn about how to take pictures in nature, while respecting the environment, and making sure that there is proper lighting. Another group hiked with Allie and I throughout the Land Lab and placed the flags that the campers made over the last couple days for a future scavenger hunt.  Once the first group was done in the woodshop, we all rotated activities.

            Many of us enjoyed lunch outside on mats around the barn to enjoy the summer sun that we have been craving all week. We decided to celebrate with an extended recess through quiet time. Some kids played capture the flag the entire time, while others chose to have a mini quiet time on the porch doing arts and crafts with Allie.

            In the afternoon, Allie and Rene continued to take people to place flags throughout the Land Lab during the first afternoon block, while Chantelle and I took more kids to take pictures with their cameras. In the second afternoon block, Allie, Rene, Chantelle and I all took the kids who weren’t in the woodshop on a scavenger hunt, trying to find a piece of nature that started with each letter of the alphabet.

            Overall we had a wonderful day, but tomorrow’s forecast looks like rain, so please remember to continue sending your children to camp appropriately dressed for cold and rainy days, with a change of clothes and extra socks. If the forecast is for sun, please don’t forget sun block, bug spray, and clothes for warm weather.
