Today our theme was Our Blue Planet/Green Planet.
The campers practiced casting for fishing tomorrow. Hopefully their practice will help them and they can catch lots of fish!
They took some nets to the pond and found snail shells, leaches and other pond dwelling bugs. To figure out what kind of bug they found they had a chart that narrowed it down.
In the afternoon, campers enjoyed a wagon ride and tie dyed their shirts to wear for Friday.
Be sure to check out the blog on Friday when ALL of the fun camp photos from the week are posted!
