One day was spent at Miriam Harris’s and Cory Koral’s Jordan River Farm in Huntly. The children had the opportunity to milk cows, feed a calf, collect eggs and even make butter.
The study of rocks and minerals was the subject another day, taught by Karen Henderson. She brought in an amazing collection of her own rocks and minerals to share with the children, and explained how minerals are also present in our own bodies, such as gold and iron.
The caifipers made their own stone tools using rocks they collected themselves, sticks and raffia.
Crafts were taught every afternoon. They made butterfly nets and “pooters,” bug-catching devices.
A camp newspaper was produced by all the children, under the direction of Welby Lynn. Her artwork and that of the campers beautifully illustrate the paper, which also includes counselor and camper interviews. In a counselor interview with Robin Purnell by camper Arlen Sherwood, Mrs. Purnell said that her favorite thing at camp is the look of curiosity on childrens’ faces, and that her favorite foods are bat wings, monkey meat and raw tadpoles.
Kathleen Maier spent a day with the campers and taught them about herbal medicines. They concentrated on the common plant yarrow, which is now in bloom, and they made a yarrow tincture.
