Every afternoon this week, after lunch, the students had a scavenger hunt. The weather was beautiful this week, so it has been great to get out and enjoy the island in all its summer splendor. We are lucky to have this campus for our camp. The trees and flowers are in full bloom, and a gentle sea breeze keeps us cool.
The scavenger hunts involved looking for words and pictures from Where the Wild Things Are.
One group of campers had to walk around the school buildings and find their words using some (sightly) cryptic clues.
Another time the campers had to find letters hidden close to objects near the building. The 'clues' were close-up pictures of these objects - like the one in the picture above. Finding the letter from this picture was not too draining for most campers.
When the students found their words or letters, it was back to the library or lobby, to put them together to make words and sentences. It was a great way to enjoy the beauty of our surroundings with a fun literacy activity.
