Welcome to a week of astronomy fun!! This week, campers will learn all about the stars, planets, and solar system around them. Here are some questions you can ask your campers each day after camp: On Monday, we will be learning all about stars, including their life cycles and how to find them. Ask me……

This week we went wild for adaptations! Check out all of the awesome things we did this week. On Monday, campers had the chance to make their own animals. They first made a venn diagram of their two favorite animals and then made a new creature that had adaptations from both!   They also played…

It was so exciting to meet our Little Explorer campers! Today we learned about what makes an animal wild and what makes it tame. We discussed how a day for a dog and a squirrel are different before reading Annie and the Wild Animals, where Annie tried to make all sorts of wild animals her…

On Monday, we practiced the basics for outdoor survival. Campers learned about the many different types of shelter that can be erected in the outdoors, then practiced making their own, smaller shelters that could withstand a windstorm (or in this case, a fan).  We also practiced using compasses and tape measures, as well as compared…

Day 1 Today, campers learned about the differences between paleontologists and archaeologists, then practiced that skill by sorting artifacts and fossils.
