Science, Camping, and Safari Camp

Science camp was a fun, experiment-filled week. We worked with magnets and prisms, made a compass out of cork and a needle, changed acids into bases and back again, created our own crystals, erupted a volcano, made sunprints, learned about sound, constellations, the water cycle, and more!

 Camping camp prepared the children for the following week's safari camp. The first week, the children were taught basic survival skills including how to build a tent and create a trail mix snack. The following week, our older students were handed a tent in a bag and were asked to pitch it themselves. Both weeks involved many fun crafts.

Art & Pirate Camp

As always, art camp was a brilliant success!! The children worked with multiple mediums and studied several famous artists.

Along with copying masters, the children tried their hand at art forms such as paper weaving, sculpting, cutting, and more!

The children also enjoyed using materials that involve color matching and grading as well dimension and shape.

Pirate camp followed and was filled with some swashbuckling fun. The children loved using the maps (to help them chart their course to treasure). They labeled them, drew them, and fit them together as puzzles. 

They learned to identify landmarks and fauna (to help them recognize their location, should they find themselves shipwrecked on foreign soil).  

They sorted seashells and learned to carefully walk the plank.

They decorated a pirate ship, bedazzled their own treasure chest and cutlass, and they searched for and found treasure. 

What a fun week for our little buccaneers! Next up, science camp. :)
