Survival Camp: Week 1, Day 5

It was our last day of camp and the theme was Leave No Trace!

Most groups started their morning by collecting rocks. They found all sorts of cool rocks!

During garden kitchen, the campers got an opportunity to go out to the garden and explore. The kids enjoy getting to see where their food for their garden kitchen snacks come from! For their morning snack they enjoyed a delicious strawberry, banana, and cherry smoothie with the pickled kohlrabi from earlier in the week. In the afternoon the kids enjoyed a strawberry and yogurt popsicle. A perfect snack for a warm afternoon!

Some groups got to revisit their favorite activities of the week again today. A few of them chose fire building and others chose to play their favorite games. What was your camper’s favorite activity?

Each group got an opportunity to build shelters this week for their STEM activity. Today the campers removed their manmade materials from their shelters and were allowed to leave the raw materials. They were great at following the Leave No Trace Principles.

During our animal tracking, we a few different types of tracks around the farm. They found geese, deer and a few others in the woods. The campers used their identification books to identify the tracks out in the field. They even got to practice making the tracks in sand, too!
