Let me tell you about these awesome summer camp kids!

Today, they braved the tornado watch to come out and participate in our Summer Nature Olympics trials. Each of them was competing for a spot to represent their team in a three county, nature-based competition. They were willing to adapt when plans changed and participated with great enthusiasm throughout morning storms.

I feel so lucky to have such wonderful participants in my nature camps each year!
