NATURE CAMP was great!

We're back after another whirlwind week of Park Ave day camp! This week was great. While the middle schoolers zipped around to local colleges getting tours, schpeils and peeks into the world of higher education, K-5 campers had our first ever week of Nature/Environmental Camp! The mini-college tour included Augsburg, MCTC, Bethel and Le Cordon Bleu while the rest of us got to visit a Recycling Plant, a nature center, the Farmers' Market and last but certainly not least, the Como Zoo. We found colors in the woods to match every paint color imaginable and even discovered clay beneath the sand at the beach! Although nature's all around us most of the time, it was really exciting to spend a week paying closer attention to the truly remarkable ways the God chose to give this planet life. There are several more camps left in our summer schedule but it's a little sad to only have one more week of day camp to look forward to, which will be Arts Camp next week. We're all getting a little tired, but the summer's going very well and we're still feeling grateful to have such a meaningful way to spend our time!

Thanks again for all your prayers and support. It will always be an extremely important part of what makes the summer program a success!
