Kennedy Camping Week

Kennedy Camping week

Our extended year curriculum started off with a week full of activities to teach us all about camping. The classroom was set up as a campground with a camper, a boat for going fishing and a play campfire for roasting marshmallows, hotdogs and making s’mores. The Girl Scouts visited the center and taught us about camping badges and camping songs. The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission visited us and taught us about what kinds of animals you might see while camping, how to be safe in the woods and how to keep the woods safe. Many of the children have never been camping and this was a great learning experience
