 Earth Camp is a resounding success! Director Ms. Jennifer James says, "The 5th to 7th graders will have a full morning of activities! They made  turtle whistles out of clay,  shot rockets towards the clouds and made spectacular solar prints from discoveries from their nature hike!"  Campers created banners and flew kites, learned orienteering, fishing and boat safety. They applied what they learned when they fished and canoed this past Thursday  on Lake Eston Wilson. Learning how to juggle  taught by Mr. Smith topped it all off!Session One is finished and all gained a great comraderie,  wonderful summer memories and  some new skills too.

Session Two began today, AND IT IS SUNNY!
