It was a beautiful day today and the campers had many things to do during their morning block! A group of campers went for a hike to collect nature objects for the "feely" box. This box is used to engage the touch sense of the campers! Another group of campers went to Jack and Carol Lawyer's garden for a tour. They loved it! Some of their favorite parts were trying the homegrown parsley and exploring the greenhouse. Some campers also made paracord bracelets in the morning block. The campers chose their color and were instructed on how to make the fun design. Pond day is tomorrow so another activity for the morning was boat collection. The campers collected twigs, pieces of bark, pine-cones, and leaves to make their boats. They are eager to float them tomorrow!
Lunch time came quickly with such a busy morning. The campers had recess after and they played soccer, basketball, talked with friends, and some even showed their skills with the Rubix cube!
After lunch was quiet time. The campers listened to Josh play some guitar, continued their sanding projects and some drew quietly on the porch.
In the first afternoon block, the campers had some new activities to do. Allie took a group to work on string art. They make designs out of nails on a piece of wood and then tied string around them! Stephanie had a group of campers start cutting vegetables for stone soup tomorrow. Thank you to everyone for bringing them in!! Josh and I took a group to the dark woods to continue building shelter. The campers gathered sticks and small trees.
In the second block, many campers continued building shelter. Another group stayed in the barn to sand and to make more paracord bracelets. A small group of campers collected wood for the fire tomorrow! Soccer skills was another fun afternoon activity. The group of campers played a game together.
Tomorrow is pond day and we are excited! Don't forget to bring sunscreen, towels, bathing suits and a change of clothes! If you forgot a vegetable today, feel free to bring one in tomorrow for stone soup.
Thanks for the great day, campers!
