This week in Acorn camp was awesome! We made crafts from nature, such as leaf crowns, leaf rubbings, and paintbrushes. We played classic Schoolhouse games like, Kick the Can, Werewolf and Dragon’s Egg. Along with games and crafts, there was some tree-climbing, snake wrangling in the Eno river and fort-building at our base camps. This week was fun-filled with a wide variety of activities for all kinds of campers. Here are a few photos that showcase our wonderful week.

Learning about simple machines has never been better! Campers got to try their hand at throwing tomahawks and atlatls (a primitive hunting tool) and feel the advantage of leverage at work for them. They also saw the power of pulleys and wheels inside the 250 year old grist mill here at West Point on the Eno park. Along with forces and motion, they played classic Schoolhouse games like Six Feathers and Windigo and floated the Eno River. Check out a few photos from our wonderful week.
