Happy Friday!

The week has come to an end so quickly! We had such a fun week and the weather was beautiful.  The first activity that took place was setting up the solar oven! Thank you to Brian and Catherine Jean for bringing in the cookie dough!

The morning started off great. The campers had a lot of activities to choose from. Laura took a group of campers throughout the entire land lab to take photos. They took photos in the dark woods, the play woods, the bee field and even near the pond! Josh took an adventurous group back to the shelter to keep building. They had a lot of success. Allie took a group of campers to make the terrarium. The campers caught a frog, multiple salamanders and even a centipede! A small group came to the porch with Stephanie and I to work on bracelets and to play cards. Everyone had a lot of laughs!

After lunch, the campers had an extended period of recess and had a ton of fun. Some played soccer and hacky sac while others climbed trees and played with their Rubix cubes.

In the first afternoon block, a group of campers joined Allie at the pond for a watercolor activity. They painted nature scenes! Another group of kids participated in an obstacle course with Josh. The campers designed the course and then had time trials. Stephanie and Laura took a small group to the porch to work on bracelets and other crafts. The last group of campers worked on photography skills with me. They took some amazing photos and action jumping shots.

In the second block, a group of campers continued watercolor with Allie. Josh continued the obstacle course with another group. The campers loved this activity. Another group went to the porch with Laura. The campers played card games. It was a relaxing time after a long day.

At the end of the day the campers ate their cookies! They tasted great.

The campers will be bringing home their tie dye shirts today. Please rinse the shirts with cold water until the water runs clear. When they need to be washed, wash alone or with dark clothes to prevent color blending.

Thank you for the great week! We are excited for week 2!
