Summer Day Camp Wrap Up
-
As the season winds down, FENCE looks back fondly on the sun filled days spent in our Summer Day Camps. Our days were brightened with the magic of face paint and cold watermelon slices, colorful tye dye and songs. Our campers traveled to new realms alongside a storyteller, traversed our trails in search of treasure on a pirate themed hike, wore the many hats of a park ranger, and created masterpieces with local artists. We dressed like a beekeeper and explored a bee hive, made strawberry jam from scratch and met many new animal friends.
