Crime Lab 7/8/2024-7/12/2024

 Monday  To settle into our forensic labs, campers made their own detective brief case to hold their forensic files. Older campers played a life sized game of clue, while younger campers transformed their room into a police department.  Tuesday It's finger print day!!!! Older campers spent the day learning about finer prints, using an ink-pad to take finger prints, playing a mystery classroom matching fingerprint game, and lifting their finger prints off a glass with cocoa powder and tape.  Younger campers learned about their finger prints, and got to use ink-pads to make finger print art.  Wednesday The big day has arrived! A real life police office came to camp and talked to all our campers about forensics and being a police officer. He even took our official finger prints.  Our older campers learned about blood types and DNA and how they are important evidence at a crime scene.  Younger campers learned about police dogs and played and tested their s...

Emergency Vet July 15 - 19 2024

Monday  We spent our day making lab coats, designing a vets office, and listening to our guest speaker, Sparks Ark, present his exotic animals.  Tuesday An amazing mom came in with a fantastic presentation about dog agility and training. She talked about training service animals and the children loved it (shout out to Karen)!! The children also made their own human agility courses which was adorable.  Wednesday A vet came to talk about how a vet check up at a vet's office works and passed out some check up sheets for the kids to use on their stuffed animals as practice. Then a sweet black lab came in and all the kids got to take her heart beat with a real stethoscope. Our pet visits in the afternoon were extra special when we got to meet two ponies (one miniature pony named Taco and one pony named Squid) and a turkey named Sweat Pea.  Thursday Charlie's Friends doggie daycare and training came in to show the children some dog tricks and learn dog body language. The c...
