Team Challenge (April 2nd, Monday):

Learn what it takes to be a good team member through games and team challenges. During the afternoon the Alligators will visit the Rock Eagle animals. The Box Turtle's will go on a canoeing challenge while the Corn snakes challenge themselves with a thrilling ride on the swing shot, where campers soar back and forth on a giant swing.

Icky, Creepy, and Cool Science (April 3rd, Tuesday:

In this session we explore all things icky, creepy and cool through science experiments and fun activities. Campers will learn about polymers, make slime, eat dirt pudding and dissect owl pellets. Who knew being gross could be so much fun?

Did You Hear That? (April 4th, Wednesday):

This session will focus on our five senses and how we use them every day. Campers will perform various experiments and activities to test their senses, while discovering which sense is their best. Campers will make an instrument to take home.

Finding the FBI (April 5th, Thursday):

Who are the FBI you ask? Fungus, Bacteria and Invertebrates that is. Campers will get wet and muddy as they tromp through the forest and the aquatic ecosystems of Rock Eagle looking for the FBI. (Students will need to bring extra shoes and clothes)

Looking into the Past (April 6th, Friday):

Learn about the people who once inhabited Rock Eagle through exploration of pioneer and Native American cultures. Campers will travel back in time and use tools and play games to learn about Rock Eagle's past.
