Wednesday the Explorers went to the irrigation pond at Bramble Hill to catch frogs, water boatmen and other pond critters.
The Explorers played one of Hitchcock's best-loved group challenges yesterday: Chocolate River. The object of the the challenge is to make it from one side of the chocolate river to the other stepping only on marshmallows (carpet squares). However, there are only a limited number of marshmallows to begin with, and the hungry chocolate monsters (counselors) will snatch the marshmallows away if there is no campers touching it. Campers have to rely heavily on each other, especially when they decide to exchange things like their sight, speech or a limb for another marshmallow!
They also went to the Smith College Greenhouse to explore the many plants indoors, as well as the botanical gardens outside. They retreated to the Hitchcock Center in the nearly 100-degree heat for an air-conditioned lunch, and then jumped in the pool at Mill River to cool off!
