As always, it has been another full day of games, crafts, and learning at Penn Museum!
Today, the blue and green groups created amulets, like the eye of Horos, scarabs, and other Egyptian-themed amulets. Campers sculpted Model Magic clay into the shape that they desired, and later painted them to replicate the amulets.The red and yellow groups traveled to the Native American gallery to sketch different clothing that the native people wore, fitting perfectly in the theme of the week, Worn and Adorn. Campers learned that the special clothing were made from natural resources, like animal skin, plant materials, straw, and other fabric.
In addition to crafts, the children had an option of watching the world renown FIFA World Cup during lunch time. Although they did not see the end, it was a disappointment to hear about the loss to Germany.
The campers are eager, finishing the last touches for the show tomorrow, open to all families and friends! Please join us tomorrow, as we present all that we made/learn this week with the theme of Worn and Adorn!
To end this busy day, counselors, volunteers, and campers played several exciting games of Gaga: the perfect end to a great day.
