Bubble-ology - Campers learn about surface tension and the molecular attraction of water.
Owl Pellets - Campers dissect owl pellets to determine what the owl has recently eaten. They match the bones to those listed on a chart in their camp booklet to see what the owl enjoyed eating the most.
Good morning from Happy Hollow! The campers just finished breakfast - waffles, sausage, blueberries and cereal. They are headed to the first stations of the day.
Evening snack - Smores and Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches
That is all for the today/tonight! We hope you enjoyed following our day today and can see that the campers are having so much fun! We will be back tomorrow to start day 2.
Campfire Skits! Mr. Allen was in charge of campfire songs to allow the campers to sing a bit!
Campfire time! Mr. Schmidt always pulls some of the charred firewood from the previous years campfire and takes it back to NHMS. The next year when it is time to load for camp, he brings it back to the campfire and throws it in. This bonds all of the years of campers together as he has done this since our first trip to Happy Hollow in 1997.
