Clear Creek

I got to go with Kenzie on his class field trip to Clear Creek. This is an overnight camp. Kenzie is disecting an owl pellet. The kids find the bones and assemble them on a paper.
The next activity was looking at pond scum through a microscope and finding organisms in it.
The activity I was over was spagetti towers. This is one I made. It is supposed to be a TeePee with a fire, two people and a dog inside.There was several feet of snow. it was really hard and had tunnels and holes dug in it that kids have been working on all winter. Kenzie spent most of his free time playing in the snow. There were caves in the snow. A group of kids jumped on the top of the caves and arches and they didn't budge. The snow was frozen solid and very compact.
The kids played many games. This is like blind man's bluff.
These are the girls in my cabin.
