Time to Catch Up!

A lot has happened around here the past two months; so much that we haven't had time to do any regular blogging! So, it's time for a brief overview of our activities!

This year, HDT decided to scale back at the Cass County Fair and just have a booth with our spinner game and info., rather than a whole building like we have in the past. We also branched out and had a booth at the Crow Wing County Fair, which seemed to go over well.

Dave and Derek testing local Royalty's
eco-awareness.

We also had two more eco-camps. August 16th-20th was for grades 2-4 and was called "What on Earth?" The kids had lots of fun:


Making rain sticks


Going to the "Wiley West Stunt Show" for
Terrific Tuesday


Crafting bracelets from plastic bags


Experimenting with sun prints


And recycling crayons.

Our last session of camp, "Act Natural", for 5th-8th graders ran August 23rd-27th. Some of our favorite activities included:


Back-to-back drawings


Touring RREAL


Making newspaper journals


Paper making


Hunger Banquet


Making suet bird feeders


Orienteering


Gardening


Preparing french fries with potatoes we dug
out of the garden


Our last group of campers for the year!

As summer came to a close, we also said good-bye to our summer workers, who are now back at school, either teaching or attending. We'll miss them and hope to see them next year!
