Hi,
My name is Madison and I am having so much fun at the Water Worlds! camp.
The First day of camp we played a bunch of neat games. First we had to classify different shells found in the lake. Then we had to pick a shell and feel it. After that we closed our eyes and passed the shells around and tried to guess which shell was ours by feeling it. That game didn't go to well because we saw who had our shell before hand. The next game we played was called "The Incredible Journey". We pretended we were water molecules and we had a pipe cleaner and we went to different stations. Each station was a place water can be found. I got stuck at the ocean a lot. The next thing we did was we went down to the boat house and collected plankton. We looked at the plankton under microscopes. We learned the names of some of them and tried to find them under the microscope. It was amazing what people don't know is in the water.
The second day of camp we took a trip to Taughannock Falls. It was really hot that day but we got cooled of in the water. We went under a bridge and found a ton of aquatic creatures. Then we walked up the stream to the falls. They used to be really big but over time they got smaller. I learned that Taughannock means full of trees.
The third day of camp was really fun. We went to a big pond in the Finger Lakes national forest. We caught a bunch of frogs and tadpoles. I caught a HUGE tadpole! As soon as we left it started to rain. Good thing we made it back in time for the huge thunder storm. I am really enjoying camp so far and I can't wait until tomorrow!
