Barnyard Carnival: Week 3

This week at camp, campers are exploring the exciting future of agriculture by learning about soil, farming, and wildlife conservation through engaging hands-on demonstrations, experiments, and even muddy fun!

On the instructional sports side of camp, campers are training for The Tough Mudder Competition! Campers practiced footwork and agility by running through the tires.

Camp is more fun when you get to experience it with a sibling! Many siblings can be seen around camp, some in the same groups, some enjoying lunch together, and some playing games during homeroom and aftercare.

Did you know that our planet Earth recycles it's own nutrients? Campers explored the world of decomposers in nature with a scavenger hunt. Many decomposers were found in the vernal pond and around the trails. Campers learned about compostable materials and even started contributing to our compost bin by saving fruit and vegetable scraps at lunch.

Recess is a favorite time each day for many campers! From Ultimate Frisbee to Dodgeball, Kickball to "Red Light, Green Light" campers are bound to have some fun!

Mystery Labs had students examining the scientific process and creating creating "Elephant Toothpaste". In the Young Naturalist program, campers explored the layers of our Earth's crust and made edible soil profiles.

During Water Fun, campers played a variety of games including a crowd favorite:

Wild, Wet Dodgeball.

The special event this week had campers creating their own carnival game to be played during the Barnyard Carnival. Campers were lining up to sit under the "dunk tank" wondering if they'd be the next to get wet!

Despite the rain, campers ended the week on a high note, by showing off their new dance moves in the Main Pavilion!
