Camp Timber Ridge-- Electricity, Magnetism,& Inventions plus Spanish.

Hello, Cailin here.

Camp Timber Ridge (or CTR) was fun, though it would have been more fun to me personally to have horseback riding in it, too. But there wasn't, so we had more time to do electricity and magnetism stuff. We also tried to make inventions, whether just the ideas or actually making it. Most of the people in my group just came up with ideas because our inventions were too costly or we didn't know how to make them.

I was the oldest camper at CTR this year. It was my last year that I could be a camper, but that's okay. Maybe in two years or so I'll go back and be a councilor instead, but I don't know yet. 

The Spanish class stuff was fun, and so was the crafts making. Spanish isn't really too terribly different from English, honestly. 

We made a lot of crafts, including a Sharpie tie dyed shirt you'll see below. We also made spider web things. 

Delaney here:  I learned a lot. I liked it because it had a lot of crafts, and we got to see how inventions actually work. and the director is very nice.

Button called me one evening to tell me that she has two full scholarships available for the following week of her Camp Timber Ridge, and was wondering if my girls would be interested.  I was sure Delaney would, if she was feeling better due to her illness.  I wasn't sure if Cailin would because she didn't like it last year but the subject of electricity and magnetism was alluring--it's one that she's been learning about on her own, so she was eager to join in the weekly projects, songs and fun.

This was on celebration day. We were talking about what we learned that week.

All of us were singing a Spanish song.

These were all of my crafts that I made.

this is the spider web I made

This was my spider web, with spider included.

I made this shirt.  It didn't turn out so well, but I tried to make it with an American flag so I can wear it on the 4th!

This is my shirt. It was too big, but that's okay.

Liam had some fun here at home, with his friend Landon.  He was sad that he couldn't go to camp but having time with Landon clearly made him happy!
