Camp Mc Dowell Success!

While at Camp, our 5^th graders participated in several outdoor classes.  Among those were Aquatic Adventures, Down to Earth, and Songs, Sparks & Stories. These science based activities covered the entire CCRS for Ecosystems and standard 13 for Earth’s Place in the Universe. The hands-on activities allowed the students to be fully invested the 5E instructional model and encouraged inquiry.  The students also participated in a STEAM lesson entitled Invention Convention, which was designed to challenge their creative minds through scientific exploration and engineering processes. Now, we all know that “all work and no play” is NO FUN!  Our kids were able to canoe Clear Creek in a two-man canoe, play field games during rec-time, and beat their fears with the 20 foot trust swing. Each meal was fed family-style and the student’s participated in clean-up afterward.  After SSS, the student’s made S’mores and both camp nights were full of screams and giggles in the cabins. It was a wonderful learning adventure that created friendships and memories that will last much longer than 5^th grade.
