Campers learn that objects in motion have kinetic energy and objects at rest have potential energy. They test this theory by rolling marbles down and incline and collect the necessary data to prove it.
Hamburgers and French Fries were on the lunch menu today!
All About Air - Campers learn about the properties of air and that it occupies space, has weight, and exerts pressure. They also learned what instrument can measure air pressure and how clouds form.
Bubble-ology - Campers learn about surface tension and the molecular attraction of water.
Owl Pellets - Campers dissect owl pellets to determine what the owl has recently eaten. They match the bones to those listed on a chart in their camp booklet to see what the owl enjoyed eating the most.
Good morning from Happy Hollow! The campers just finished breakfast - waffles, sausage, blueberries and cereal. They are headed to the first stations of the day.

That is all for the today/tonight! We hope you enjoyed following our day today and can see that the campers are having so much fun! We will be back tomorrow to start day 2.
Campfire Skits! Mr. Allen was in charge of campfire songs to allow the campers to sing a bit!
Campfire time! Mr. Schmidt always pulls some of the charred firewood from the previous years campfire and takes it back to NHMS. The next year when it is time to load for camp, he brings it back to the campfire and throws it in. This bonds all of the years of campers together as he has done this since our first trip to Happy Hollow in 1997.
