Collaborative Building
Each week we have a different collaborative design project. Ages 5-12 work together to build one aspect of a village. During week 1, we built bridges. One of our older students attempted to make hers a drawbridge while another proceeded to teach us about Humbolt Squid, which he drew beautifully in the water, while others chose to build roads connecting to the bridges and lego cars to travel along them. Collaborative building is entirely camper led with instructor support for materials and ideas. Each child is encouraged to become engaged in one aspect of the process.
Walking on water, or the “Elsa Effect.” Oobleck appears to be a liquid until you apply pressure and it immediately solidifies, such a cool concept and so much fun to walk on and get oobleck slimed!
