Trying to Reduce Our Spending

Something we cover often during camp is the importance of our planet Earth, and what we can do to keep it healthy. One of the main things we talked about this week was reducing our spending.

Have you ever thought about how amazing it is to use what we have instead of always getting new stuff? It is not only cool but super important too! When we use things we already have, like reusing old toys or turning boxes and paper into awesome creations, we are doing something awesome for our planet.

You see, our Earth is like our home, and just like we take care of our rooms and keep them clean, we need to take care of our planet too. By using what we have and not buying tons of new things we don't really need, we are helping to make our Earth healthier and happier. We know that new things, especially toys, can be very exciting, but it can also be exciting to find new ways to use some of those toys you have not played with in a few years!

You can even get creative and make cool things that remind us to save the Earth, just like Ellie did at our camp. She created a melting Earth piece, which was Earth as an ice cream scoop, melting down the cone. It was a beautiful creation, conveying such a strong message, and reminding us to do all we can to save our home. So, remember, you have the power to make a big difference by consuming less and being kind to our beautiful planet. Let's work together to make it an even better place for all of us! 🌏💚

New School Year Plans

Hey, awesome kids! Can you believe the extra-long summer fun is coming to a close? Some of you are gearing up to head back to school. But wait, here's the cool part: it's time to dream up all the amazing stuff you want to do and create a super-duper plan for the brand new school year ahead! Share your rocking plan with us! 🚀📚

The first word you would say to an alien?

Launched in 1977 from Cape Canaveral, Florida, NASA's Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 had a primary mission: close examinations of Jupiter, Saturn, their rings, and key moons. Notably, they carried a Golden Record with images, sounds, and greetings, a gesture for encountering aliens. Now, if you had the chance, what would you add to the spacecraft? Imagine the message or gesture you'd send into the cosmos.

Practicing Calligraphy

Did you know Steve Jobs, the Apple creator, was fond of calligraphy? He used its beauty for Mac computer fonts, naming them after his favorite cities like Chicago. Our campers also have great handwriting. Want to try calligraphy with your name or a favorite poem?
