This week our campers have been staying cool by taking shady, watery field trips and playing with water! A favorite activity was "River Village Creation" in which the Explorers built a watershed in the mulch, complete with a river and riverfront properties. The hose created the flowing river, and occasionally there were floods. Campers had to figure out how to make their homes erosion- and flood-resistant.
On Friday, the Young Naturalists learned about the geological story of the Pioneer Valley, and hiked Mt. Holyoke at Skinner State Park. Everyone made it to the top, and took a while to enjoy the view at the top. Seeing the Connecticut River Watershed from above, campers observed how the river wound through the landscape.
