School is out and most of Rappahannock’s youth are on vacation, swimming, playing around, or just happily spending their idle time glued to the TV set. School and learning have been the farthest thing from these kids’ minds.
But for 16 youngsters from as far away as New Jersey and Ohio, Capt. and Mrs. Howard W. Holschuh’s farm in Rock Mills has given a whole new look to the educational experience.
The Rappahannock Natural History Day Camp held from July 10 to July 21 taught the 16 future adults “how to become better keepers of the Earth by introducing them to their environment,” said staff member Tutt Stapp-Harris. Organized and run by Stapp-Harris and Nancy Hale of Madison county, and sponsored by the Rappahannock League .. of Environmental Protection and the Piedmont Environmental Council, the camp combined fun and learning “in an effort to make the children aware of the wonderful outdoors and the dangers it faces from our growing civilization, ” said Hale.
Harris and Hale, with the aid of their junior assistants, Jason Parry and Kyle Apple, kept the campers active with a variety of games, projects, and guest lectures. The only idle time came when, they sat in secluded spots to write and draw in their journals, recording thoughts and images from the day’s events.
