ENGAGE. EXPLORE. ENRICH.
At Camp Blackmon we learn, grow, and do! Throughout each camp week we enjoy reading relevant fiction and non-fiction literature around our topic. We create related artwork and themed crafts to express our learning. We complete hands-on activities including experiments, games, puzzle solving, gardening and short film-making that connects to our theme. We explore our topic in the kitchen with culinary flare and then enjoy the fruits of our labor. In addition, we build friendships, share ideas and empower one another. After our theme has been explored through out the week, we set out on a culminating field trip adventure that brings our topic to life and celebrates all that we've learned!
