Our fort builders were busy this week imagining, planning, and building all sorts of creations in Brumley Forest! We started with some basic skills like lashing, knot tying, and saw use and from there the campers took charge! They created multi-floor forts, swings, ladders, and many other awesome inventions. Creek time was a hit with some great rock-stacking competitions, crayfish catching, and cooling off and getting wet. Games were another hit, and many campers really enjoyed having an energetic and enthusiastic battle to defeat the Windigo and then try to defeat him again. Creativity and imagination were the words of this week, which truly lived up to it’s name – ultimate fort builders! Check out our photos to see our awesome creations and fun-filled week!
Our Salamander campers had a fantastic week filled with salamander activities, stories, games, and crafts! Campers had a great time playing Kick the Can and an exciting round of Scout Mission where they had to look for the magical objects (a salamander egg, slime, and a growing chamber). Campers tried their hand at making salt dough salamanders – which turned out great…until the rain turned them back into dough! Another highlight of the week was seeing (and getting to touch!) a few snakes, including our biggest of the summer, a 6-foot black rat snake! Climbing at Viney Village, whittling, and cooling off at the creek rounded out our amazing salamander week. Take a look to see some photos from Salamander Camp!
In the spirit of Minnow week we played Sharks and Minnows and Fishy Fishy Cross My Ocean. Campers also had time to enjoy the little things like whittling, building forts, and opening and closing circle. We learned so much about fish in a game of One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. Minnows are so small yet so important! Take a look at the photos from the week and see what our campers were up to!
This week at Schoolhouse of Wonder we learned all about the lives and behaviors of our feathered friends. We used binoculars to get an up-close look at birds throughout the park. We also learned a bit about bird calls and learned to mimic the tones of some of the native birds. We constructed bird houses to attract birds to our homes so we could keep on observing even after camp ended. Games like Windigo, looking for critters, and splashing in the creek filled up any time we had left. Take a look at the photos below to see how we ended each day dirty, tired, and happy!
This week in camp, we had a blast exploring the insects of the trees, underground, and the creek. In the spirit of Inchworm week we told stories of inchworms and learned new facts about nature’s wondrous creatures. We also played games like Chef Cooki and with such a brave group we took campers on an adventure to a distant creek spot. Take a look at a few photos to get a quick glimpse of our great week!
