Thank you!
We did have a ton of fun. Weather was awesome. The bunks werent...glad to be back home in my own bed. LOL
Took many pics (984) but many are of the groups and the kids and classes...etc..
We had many classes, some same as last year but two new ones were added.
-Nature Observation
-Horse Science
-Homology
-Archery (activity and class)
-Orienteering
-Herpetology
-Entomology (insects and bugs)
-Pond Exploration (new one this yr) focuses on ecology and environment and collecting data.
-Ornithology (new class)
-Gold panning and class on rocks and minerals.
-Character study focusing on attentiveness.
Plus a lot of the hands on and physical (challenge) activities.
Here is what I can show...and I dont need parent permission!
We hang a lot with this guy whose camp name was Cyclone. We helped/worked with the 3-5th graders and this is pond exploration class.
I love science camp!
Glad to be back though...

That looks fun!
I think the first unidentified creature in the slideshow might be a blue-tongued skink.

I was thinking skink exactly..whether blue tongued or not, wasn't sure.

I thought of that too and I told them that but really when you look at it in person it has the body and legs of a crocodile or alligator....and the head of a skink!
