I have had a busy week at summer camp. This is my sixth year teaching Little X-plorers at the Sun Foundation's Art and Science in the Woods. We (another instructor and five or six teaching assistants) have thirty children who range in age from five to seven. We hike, look for fossils, paint, play games, visit a marsh, weave, make jewelery, create drums with recycled objects, dig for artifacts in an archeology dig, work with clay, listen to storytellers and much more. It is an exhausting fun filled week! To learn more about the Sun Foundation and it's mission click- http://www.sunfoundation.org/sun/
