Dane County Fair and Camp Out Day

Thursday the campers went and explored the Dane County Fair! They were able to see many types of animals such as: piglets, cows, horses, chicks, and sheep. They had a great time petting the animals and checking out the different businesses in the exhibition hall. Friday the campers got in touch with their wild side! They made camp fires during craft time, watched Tarzan, and went to the splash park.
