Wednesday Camp Recap

Halfway there, we're flying with style now! The campers were great and full of energy (again, which is great!). Keep up the energy guys. Here is a photo recap of the day. Sorry for the lack of action shots, our camp went through the assessment process today and that kept us all busy. But we pass with flying colors, and the volunteers who came to check us out left with great impressions of camp.

Every morning, the kids spend a half an hour doing yoga with Keefer. We want to thank him for all the great work he's done in starting their day off healthy.

Getting ready to make some astronaut fudge!

These kids are figuring out their weight on different planets.

These young men are learning how to play ultimate frisbee.

Explaining the game play of ultimate frisbee. They also earned their Ultimate belt loop.

Now they're spending time after lunch learning chess. Oh and they earned that belt loop too!

Thank you to our fantastic chess masters!

Simple circuit demonstration and practice.

Using levers to build anything that moves the marble from one place to another. Being creative is fun!

Bill's last day as Rocket Man. Burning out his fumes out here.

Back to electricity, demonstrating closed circuits and transferring energy between people.

End result, the bulbs light up!

Water challenge: fill the bucket on the other side with water as fast as you can! The challenge, the cup has holes that let water escape.

Clay faces!

Even the staff got clayed!

This team had the longest rocket flight! Almost 8 seconds!

Bill launching one last special rocket.

Thank you Bill!

End of the day, the staff still have enough energy to (attempt) jump rope.

Tomorrow we will be spending the day at Heron Haven learning about nature conservation, and the going to Mullhull's for a technology in the work place lesson. Also, Wild Life Encounters will be stopping by to show off some really cool animals. Can't wait to see everyone tomorrow! 

Tuesday Camp Recap

Day two into the great Galactic Trek, and things are just getting started. The Scouts were energetic and had a lot of fun. Here are some great photos demonstrating what went on today at camp.

Bug suckers!

There is a big cricket in this one. How did it fit through the straw?!

Looking for bugs.

Minute to win it games. Using a banana on a string to get the orange to the other side.

Cupcake challenge!

Baseball belt loop in practice. Also applying what they learned about levers to everyday life.

Watching Bill Nye the Science Guy. Kids had a blast.

Building space ships, again applying levers to a fun activity.

Getting ready to launch bottle rockets!

Making land rovers, powered by wind.

Rover races!

Again, it was a great day for camp. Tomorrow the Scouts are learning about codes, playing ultimate Frisbee, learning about circuits and electricity, and they will learn all about chess (and earn their belt loop!). Stay tuned for more Cub Camp news.
