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.
