Today our camp theme was Decomposers – Breaking it Down.
Campers made a “Wormarium” to see the worm tracks. They put dirt in a large glass jar and then a smaller glass jar to fill the space so the worm trails could be seen more easily. The concept is very similar to an ant farm.
Today campers pretended to be chefs and created a dirt recipe that they thought would make a good fertilizer for plants. They used sticks, potting soil, compost, dog hair, gummy worms and anything else they could find outside.
Campers continued to work on their STEM projects today. They have been building volcanoes all week that they will get to do an experiment with tomorrow.
During Garden Kitchen, campers mixed up some tasty apricot-raisin granola. While they waited for their granola to cook they played with homemade play dough.
Remember to bring your bathing suit and wear your tie dye shirts tomorrow!
