On Monday the campers visited the library where there was a special guest who sang songs with the help of his guitar and banjo. A few of our campers got to help out for a couple of songs too, and one of our counselors, Casey, got to be a part of the show! During craft time back at the school, the campers got to look like an animal with the help of face paint, streamers, and construction paper. Then they got their pictures taken as they walked down the catwalk.
On Tuesday the campers visited the Cambridge Pool as usual, but when they got back to school they made fossils! The campers used pressed a rubber bug into the clay to make an indent, and then poured plaster into the cup after taking the bug out. When the plaster was dry (a few days later) the campers took the plaster out of the cup, and had a fossil of the bug!
On Wednesday the group went bowling. If the campers get tired of bowling, then they usually have something else they can do, such as coloring/drawing, playing cards, or playing with their electronics. When the campers got back to the school, they competed against others in a relay race and wall sits.
On Thursday the campers took a field trip to the Geology Museum on the UW-Madison campus! The campers learned about rocks and minerals, dinosaurs, fossils, and got to see rocks that glowed under a black light!
On Friday the campers did an egg hunt. They had to find plastic eggs outside and inside, filled with candy or paper with a reward on it, such as move your clothes pin up. After that, the campers visited Savannah Park, as well as the splash park. It was the perfect day for it because it was warm! After snack the campers watched the cartoon version of the movie, "Alice in Wonderland". Sorry there aren't any pictures! It was an exciting day and I forgot to grab the camera as I was helping all the campers.
