The Police Crime Scene Van visited camp today. The campers were shown pictures of crime scenes, learned all about fingerprints and how detectives lift them from surfaces. They even learned how the detectives use footprints to solve crimes. Mikayla Avallone of Cricket Ridge was brave enough to take off her shoes and give the officers a sample of hers!

We had some camp cooks today at the pavilion with Cheesey. Cricket Ridge made nachos, macaroni and cheese, and hot dogs. A little while later, Shady Hollow made every girl scout’s favorite treat–s’mores.

Shady Hollow had a big day today. Not only was it their traditional ‘late night at camp’, but unit leaders, Hunter and Cocoa took them and their PAs on a bike hike. They also learned bike maintenance and safety.

Willow Brook made boats that they will race in the brook. Out in Peter Pan, camper Turner caught two fish! Bunny Burrow took their turn at flag ceremony in the morning, while Brookside Flats did our closing ceremony this afternoon.

PAs and staff got to stay late at camp as well, giving them a much deserved hour and a half of play time.

Though the day started out wet, the rain kept away even if the clouds did not. Another wonderful day at Clatter Valley Day Camp.
