The final week of MHC After 3 summer camp ends today, and we've had a full month of science fun and adventure! The students from the Collinsville YMCA were with me in the mornings this week, and the Fieldale Community Center in the afternoons. I'm posting some photos to highlight what we did this week:

Seining in the lake
Due to a boat house delay, we had a few minutes to fill. So, the kids had an improptu sand castle contest. I challenged them to include a bridge in their castle design.
