Hello Peppers!
It was our last day of camp and we ended it with lots of fun things!
Today was pond day so we took some time to learn about things that are around and in the pond. We went on a scavenger hunt!
We even went to the garden to recap all the things we learned from the week. The Peppers thought growing things in the toilet was so silly!
In garden kitchen we made sushi with real seaweed! We made sticky rice and used carrots and cucumber as filling too. We made our popsicles for our afternoon snack too.
In the afternoon we went on our hayride and said hi to all the animals when we drove by!
We enjoyed our popsicles in the children’s garden and hung out with all our pepper friends.
We ended our day in the arboretum with all the Peppers. We had fun relay races and cheered on each other to victory!
We had such a great week at camp! I hope to see you again!
