Day 2!

Hi all!
Today the day started off humid and overcast. (No rain so that was nice!) We all gathered and discussed the activity choices for the day. Rene and Dylan took a group of campers out to gather supplies for some dream catcher making. After the sticks and vines were collected, the campers (With lots of patience) created a circle out of them. Then they put string around it to create the catcher. Some campers even added long ties and feathers off the bottom of it! The end result was very cool. Meanwhile, Allie led bracelet making and water colors. The kids painted some nature scenes as an introduction. Chantelle and I took a smaller group out to take photos. We found some great slugs, moths and pretty flowers. We also found a couple four leaf clovers. The campers loved to capture great photos!
During lunch the sun came out and the campers played capture the flag. After, during quiet time, the campers sketched and sat outside enjoying the sun. They also sat outside sanding and painting.
After lunch Dylan led campers to gather more supplies for their boats. Rene helped a group of kids build the solar oven. On the next sunny day the campers will put the oven in the sun and bake cookies in it. Some campers were ready to build their boats and Chantelle, Allie, and I helped assemble them. Tomorrow the finished boats will be set out on the pond. In the second block the boats continued to be made and shelters were constructed in the woods. Also bracelets and water color paintings were made.
The second day was great and the campers enjoyed their time in the sun. Looking forward to pond day tomorrow!
