Sharing some pictures from weeks 8 and 9! For week eight of leadership, our campers had an exciting week learning about fire safety and enjoyed a special visit from the McWane Science Center. They explored the science behind dry ice and other fun hands-on experiments that sparked their curiosity and encouraged them to keep learning. 💚🐉
Week 9 was a blast with plenty of adventure! We traveled to Alys Steven Center to watch a play and spent the week sporting it up!
