Check out all the photos from this week!
Today was the last day of camp and the theme was Getting Dirty – Doing our part.
Today campers finally got to do their experiments with their STEM projects. They built volcanoes and used Diet Coke and Mentos to try to create an explosion. Unfortunately, none of the volcanoes erupted. But then each group talked about some reasons why it may not have worked.
Before they did their volcano project, they threw their seed balls that they had made earlier this week.
In Garden Kitchen, the kids made a spinach pasta with summer squash. In the afternoon, they enjoyed “dirt cups” made with chocolate pudding, crushed Oreos and gummy worms.
In the afternoon, groups went on a hike before we all played on the giant slip and slide!
