Eli Whitney Summer Camp

Sue had a great time at the Eli Whitney Museum's summer camp sessions. We signed her up for three one-week sessions; each session was a different project. The first was water and boats -- they made a different model boat each day. Then it was a week all about the legend of Robin Hood and Sherwood Forest. They made a diarama with the forest and the castle and figures from the story. The last week was all about bugs. They made a bug-research tool chest in the shape of a bug and went on field trips looking for new bugs every day. Way cool!

Sue was also signed up for some after-hours care, when the kids played in the water "laboratory" outside.

There was an elephant fountain:






A sand and water exploration table:



A giant chair that was one of Sue's favorite places to play:


The museum is next to a reservoir and waterfall, so it's always a little cooler than in the city:



Overall, she was a very happy camper.
