Horseshoe Bend School

Once again Camp ASCCA was visited by a group of 5th graders, this time from Horseshoe Bend School.

On Monday, a group of about 40 boys and girls came to Camp ASCCA to experience our environmental program. The children participated in a four program rotation. The first station was Mapping and GPS where Heather taught the groups about latitude, longitude, and using a compass to find hidden treasures around camp. The second station was Project Learning Tree where Josh talked about tree life cycles. The third station was the Oscar C. Dunn Rotary Environmental Center where I discussed food chains and food webs, and then gave the groups a chance to explore the Dunn Center. The fourth station was the Cargo Net where the children got a little exercise as Nathan supervised and belayed while they climbed to the top.

We always enjoy running the environmental programs as these different school groups visit Camp ASCCA. They get the opportunity to take a day off school, have some fun, and learn in a non-classroom setting. If you are interested in bringing your school group for an environmental day camp, feel free to contact the Camp ASCCA office.
