Despite the cooler temperatures, everyone had a lot of fun at Hopkinton State Park today!  Some enjoyed spending the whole time in their kayak, while others spent some time swimming.

The water was warmer than the air, so it was lots of fun to swim, but a little bit cold getting out.  Everyone did a great job on the water and seemed to enjoy kayaking.

Tomorrow we will head to the pool.  Hopefully the weather will warm up for us a little bit.

We beat the heat at the Ecotarium today.  We had a great time exploring all of the exhibits in the museum.  There were all sorts of hands-on activities for the children to explore.

We also had an awesome ride on the train as well and we were even able to spot the red fox while on the ride.

Each group had a chance to experience a show in the planetarium.  Group one saw The Secret of the Cardboard Rocket and seemed to really enjoy it.  Group two saw Passport to the Universe and had a chance to learn a lot about space.

Turns out we are all made of “star stuff.”  Tomorrow we head to the pool which will be a perfect end to a hot week!

Group two experimented with gravity as they developed containers to help keep an egg safe in a long drop at the playground.  Just about every egg survived the fall!

Group one made themselves into a human roller coaster and then cooled off in the shade listening to a presentation about rocks from Joe, a CIT.

Everyone got to learn about sound waves from a presentation led by CITs, Zach and Matt.

Our water slide arrived so we had a nice way to cool off after a morning full of activities and exploration.

Tomorrow we head to the Ecotarium.  Please send in permission slips tomorrow.

Remember to wear camp shirt and sneakers and bring your snack, water bottle, and a lunch for the ride home.
