Well it has been a busy, happy week around here! We had our final morning of Back Yard Explorers Camp today, and it was a good finale. Thankfully the whole week went well -- none of the 23 kids got hurt or bit by fire ants!

Over the past four days (I already wrote about the first day), the kids have:
- learned about explorers (Marco Polo, Magellan and the Vikings)
- used a Treasure Map and magnifying glasses with their clues to solve a big riddle
- created and crafted (nature collages, binoculars, compasses, stickers)
- gone on hunts (bugs, birds, and plastic frogs!)
- discovered trees while blindfolded
- learned/sorted various kinds of leaves
- and discovered, named and claimed their own "lands" for their teams.
They've also played a lot of rounds of games: Capture the Flag, 4-Way Capture the Flag, Cross My Ocean, Owls and Crows, and Elbow Tag.
My favorite part was seeing how the older kids were so patient all week.... They really were great with the younger ones. Thank you guys! Here are some of the pictures from the week....
