Thanks to local partners and organizations, campers at VMNH were able to experience a wide range of activites. Most of which, we had never tried! Here are a few images to show you how we spent our summer.
Art Week
We had the opportunity to explore wood working and cooking at the School of Craft & Design.
Designing jewelry boxes from start to finish.
In cooking class, we had the opportunity to prepare (and eat) dishes from each continent in the world.
Who knew this would happen when we combined baking soda and vinegar?
Owl pellets, anyone?
After a little hesitation, it was not as bad as we assumed.
Extracting DNA from fruit and vegetables.

Athletic Week
We learned the proper batting technique, played volleyball, visited a local farm, went hiking, canoeing and ice skating.
We decided to take a break after a refreshing hike on the Rhododendron Trail at the Gravely Nature Preserve.
Welcome to Owen Farm!
What will we see next?
