The Wanderers got creative this week. Using vario

The Wanderers got creative this week.
Using various books about science and animals, the Wanderers made their own nature charms. Each child was given a piece of shrink paper to draw on. The clear paper was perfect for tracing photos from illustrated science books, giving the campers the opportunity to create a charm of their favorite pictures. Of course, some kids chose to flex their creativity and drew their own pictures instead.
This project was also a great opportunity for the campers to practice sharing. There was a limited number of books to go around and only a few of each colored marker. To finish their drawings according to their vision, the campers needed to go from table to table and ask to share the colors they needed.

Happy National Play Outside Day! Celebrate by join

Happy National Play Outside Day! Celebrate by joining the Vitamin N Challenge.
The goal of the Vitamin N Challenge is to encourage you and your family to spend more time outdoors. Brought to you by our friends at Children & Nature Network, it takes place every summer and is designed to be flexible with your schedule and lifestyle. Here’s how it works:
Choose a challenge. Set goals for yourself to follow. It can be anything that gets you outside — from something simple like visiting a park one day to something more ambitious like going on a short hike once a week.
Write down all of your goals on a calendar as a reminder, and track your progress throughout the summer. You can share your goals online or celebrate your progress on your own.
Challenge yourself to explore nature this summer!
