EmailThe weather is warm, we’re learning about bees and how to build a nest!
Happy Tuesday!
Garden time: Bee pollination
Bees are such an important part of our planet, they’re responsible for pollinating all the plants to help them grow! Campers went to the EDU Garden to meet our amazing volunteers to make pollinator bombs and pretend to spread it all over the garden like they’re bees. Also, learned about different flowers that bees will get nectar from then pollinate!
Animal Chores: Rabbits, goats, ducks, and chickens oh my!
Another day of chores on the farm! Campers learned all about how to weigh a baby goat. Yellow Peppers cleaned the duck pen and gathered some eggs! As always campers love playing with the rabbits.
Casting Practice
Every week campers learn how to properly cast before going to fish in the pond tomorrow! They all did so well with learning how to fish and can’t wait to do it tomorrow.
Garden Kitchen: Homemade butter, mac n cheese & fruit pizza!
In the morning, campers learned how to make homemade butter for their mac n cheese they’re going to make in the afternoon. They were so pumped about it all day! To hold them over until later, they made fruit pizza which consisted of graham crackers, cream cheese with honey, cinnamon with strawberries and blueberries to go on top.
Nest building
Campers built a nest from grass, sticks, mud and twine to see if it can protect an egg and they’ll drop from the platform in the children’s garden. They got their hands dirty and were excited if their egg survived!
MOOOOO to you!!
We have so many things that come from cows. Campers brainstormed what goes into a cow and all the things that come out. Then they run to a bucket, take the first thing and run it into the right one of the three labeled buckets in front of them. After, they discussed what was correct and what needed to be moved!
STEAM Creature Creation
Yesterday, campers created a new species and habitat they’d want their animal to live in. Campers were given air dry clay to build their creature today! Tomorrow they’ll be able to paint them!
Teeth Floating demonstration
Dr. Lobar came to do some horse dentistry on one of our horses, Grizz. All campers were able to see Grizz’s teeth and say hello to Sedona.
Stay tuned for day three of camp tomorrow!!
