Natural History Museum Field Trip

Daring Camp and Magic Tree House Camp travelled to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History to explore their Dinosaur exhibits (and all the other great things the museum has to offer!). Check out the pictures below.

SLI Day 2

Today language campers headed to Laurel's Butler campus, where they spent time exploring the outdoors. French campers went on a creek walk and looked for les écrevisses (crayfish). Spanish campers did a scavenger hunt in Spanish for items you typically find in the woods. 

When we arrived back at campus, the French campers practiced saying whether they liked or disliked foods, then did a taste test of foods that are sucré, salé, and acide (sweet, salty, and sour). Following this, campers learned about the gargoyles of Notre Dame and created their own sculptures out of clay. 

In the afternoon, the Spanish campers made Columbian line drawings by using sand and glue, while practicing their colors. After snack, Spanish campers had a chance to try different fruits of Colombia and made licuados.

Tomorrow, we're off to explore animals at the zoo! We'll be talking about habitats, what they eat, actions, and using descriptive words. 

Rawwwwwr!

Magic Tree House and Daring campers had a "raaaaawwwwring" good time at camp today! Campers started their day with a game of "GOAL"!

Then, campers hopped on the bus to go swimming at University School!

After lunch, Magic Tree House and Daring campers hiked to the softball fields for some Water Play. Campers participated in several relay races and in a game of Sponge Tag. 

Following the water games, Daring Camp and Magic Tree House Camp split up to do their own activities. Magic Tree House campers made dinosaur masks and buried a dinosaur (to be excavated later in the week). Daring Camp made paper mache dinosaur eggs (to be painted later in the week). 

Tomorrow, both camps will go to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. Please send your camper in his or her green Summer at Laurel tshirt. If he/she does not have one, we will give him/her one in the morning.
