Most of the kids went on a Math Hike. OK....that sounds pretty sad but each station gave the campers an opportunity to learn something about numbers, patterns, or measurements you can find in the natural world. My favorite was probably fibonacci hopscotch, but I also loved watching the kids tell stories about their "tree cookies" by counting the rings and learning about life cycles. They used binoculars and magnifying glasses to look for the smallest of creatures, and I am glad the weather cooperated.
The oldest campers had their turn building the robots out of electric toothbrushes. Of course these kids totally planned to use these in their mouths so that they didn't have to manually brush. I told them it wouldn't be the best idea.
