Wake

If you learned about the water cycle, visited a new creek spot each day, learned to play with honor, and whittled with a potato peeler, you might have been a camper in Summer Streams. This week we focused on the wonders of water, including learning about water filtration, tributaries and creeks, and much more! Of course, we took time to play some classic Schoolhouse games, like Scout Mission and to look for critters. (We were not disappointed!) It was a wet and wild week! Take a look at the photos below to see some of the fun. 

Whether searching the forest floor for critters or building rock structures in the creek, our Newt campers had a blast exploring Umstead State Park. We learned a bit about amphibious habitats and built our own forest habitats (forts!). We sang songs, listened to stories, and learned the basics of whittling with potato peelers. We played a bunch of different games, like Dragon’s Egg and Beckon. And no week at Schoolhouse would be complete without catching a few crayfish and a few snakes! It was a fun-filled week. Take a look at the photo gallery below to see how ended each day dirty, tired, and happy!
