Welcome to Session Two of Hitchcock Camp: Ecology is Everywhere! Campers have been playing get to know you games, exploring the trails here at Larch Hill and yes, drinking lots of water in this heat!
First, here are some final photos from last session. Here are the Young Naturalists visiting with Maizie, our corn snake. She's always a huge hit!
On Friday all campers walked to Groff Park to explore the river, have a picnic, and play on the playground. Campers found lots of crayfish, including babies!
Yesterday camp got off to a great start. All campers hiked around the Larch Hill conservation area, getting to know the trails and each other. Here are the Explorers playing a relay race style game.
All campers have been working on pie tin gardens. Each camper filled their pie tin with gravel and soil, then planted seeds and decorated them. Kids became so absorbed with creating their own miniature gardens! They will spend the next two weeks watering and caring for them. We hope that by the last day of camp, some of their seeds will have sprouted!
