Rosy Lanes Holsteins Farm, Honey Acres, Mullens' Dairy Bar and Drive- In Movie Day

We began our field trip this week at Rosy Lanes Holstein Farm, where campers were given a tour of the farm that is home to over 1500 dairy cows.  During the tour, campers were able to pet a one day old calf and see cows being milked.  After the tour they were given samples of string cheese made with the milk from the cows on the farm.  After our tour of the farm, we ventured to Honey Acres Bee Farm and Honey Museum.  Campers watched a movie explaining how the bee hive works and the history of bee farming.  After the movie, campers toured the museum, which contains a glass window into a real-life bee hive.  We were then able to sample different honey products.  Campers ended the trip with an ice cream cone from Mullens' Dairy Bar.  Friday the campers made license plates, played movie tag, and watched Cars 2, to go along with the Drive In Movie theme. The campers also went to watch and cheer on the bikers that came through for Bike Wisconsin. Later in the day the campers played water games and had water fights to beat the heat.

Hunters and Gatherers, Under the Big Top, and Color Crazy

Monday the campers got on touch with nature. They made bird feeders, played many games, and also had free time in the computer lab. The Ryan Brothers Ambulance came to camp and talked with the campers about different types of emergencies and the campers were able to take a peak inside the ambulance. Tuesday the campers took a trip to the circus with the Under the Big Top theme. They made clown hats, played caboose tag, did a circus themed obstacle course, played ring toss math, and went to the CAP pool. Wednesday the campers started off their day by playing Red Light Green Light, they mixed paint colors together to learn about secondary and primary colors, they used the paint during art in the park, and had fun with colorful water balloons.  They were also able to go to the computer lab and played color themed games on ABCYA.com, pbskids, and discoverkids. 

We had some technical difficulties with our camera on Monday and Tuesday, therefore we are unable to provide pictures for those days.
