Day Camp Blog Day 4 - While the Earth may be covered in 3/4ths water, fresh water is a precious resource that needs great care. Cubs learned the water cycle and some completed a water droplet collage. Thanks to the Izaak Walton League of Montgomery County for allowing Day Campers to use their facility! We met with Conservation Officers who taught us which bugs are indicators of healthy or sick water in ponds, lakes and streams. Cubs were able to see and even capture live specimans for closer examination. Then, we went fishing and got to experience archery. We had lunch and art time in a nice pravillon. Back at St. Paul UMC, a water battle was held before the camp's last flag ceremony. Day 3- D-Day, in rememberenc fo the 1946 invasion as well as "dirt" day. Cubs learned the layers of the Earth and soil before traveling by church bus to Montgomery County Waste Authority, through the trash transfer station, around the landfill to see leech treatment center, water meter stations, air vents and methane burning wicks. We all learned the importance of recycle, reduce and reuse. Cub need to teach parents how to recycle and use the available resources and be educated in recent changes. Lunch was eaten at the Frog Pond playground with some swing time before swim time in the Frog Pond. We ate "dirt" for a snack and learned what to compost to make healthy dirt. Day 2 - After flags, the Cubs participated in breathing exercises to fully appreicate the clean air. We learned about the layers of atmopshere and used m&ms to figure out what gases are in the air. Then, we made our very own cloud with hot water and ice then with shaving cream. We crafted pinwheels! Ridgewood was a warm pool and the nearby playground was fun! We played an ecology game outside to catagorize water, air and soil living and impacts. We learned how air pollution is created and ways to be safe during thunderstorms. After juicy, sticky watermelon, Cubs and plants were watered! Day 1 - When leaders yell "Cub Scouts", the Cubs reply "Save the World". Today was all about plants! We learned the parts of plants and trees. We learned of specimans stored by the VT Herbarium since 1879 and made our own speciman record card. Off to the VT Duck Pond for a small hike and visit with the ducks. The tour of the Hahn Gardens really explained the importance of plants on our environment. Lunch and playtime at Hand-in-Hand before swim time at the Blacksburg Aquatic Center. Cubs planted 60+ plants outside the Activity Building. We also created "plant monsters" which need water at home to grow "hairy" |
