NATURAL EXPLORERS

These camps we’ve been doing  remind me of when I was little and how I used to pull up the slates in my backyard to find  roly ploys. Every slate opened up a new world for me!

 That is what happened at camp this week, lots of excitement and new experience for the campers.

These pictures speak volumes.  IMG_0680

To hold a jar with a bee buzzing in it up to your ear and not be afraid…. to really know what that sounds like!  Amazing!

 

To catch a boatman bug in the pond and watch it swim around in your cup with legs that look like feathers.

The kids never want the camp to end and frankly I don’t blame them!

Keep on exploring!  Sue
