Day 9 of Camp Calhoun has been all about beaver lodges, animal habitats, and life cycles!
Mini Melts will be at CES tomorrow noon - 2 pm open to the public. Servings are all $4. Campers may purchase.
Camp Calhoun’s Ecology Study began today. We have been observing caterpillars transforming to butterflies and released 5 today in the pollinator garden. Groups are also learning about how plants begin as a seed. Sometimes these seeds provide beautiful things for us to enjoy, and sometimes a seed leads to the beginning of a food chain/web. Students enjoyed painting flowers today where we included seeds!
Day 7 of Camp Calhoun has concluded our fairy tales studies. Students have made connections between different versions of these stories, have been challenged to create and solve related problems, and have tasted blueberry cobbler from today’s wrap-up story!
