Science, Art and Cooking with Farm Camp
Posted by Mary FaulknerAfter a physical workout in the fields of Sport Hill Farm, our campers came back to Unquowa for a much more cerebral afternoon. Four days a week, campers participated in science, art and cooking classes. Some experiences the campers have had in science are constructing fossils, making watercolors with saltwater and hypothesizing how these pictures will be different when dry than other watercolor paintings and finding out how many worms are found in a square foot of dirt on our field then estimating how many worms they think are in the entire field. Many art projects were also completed. Some of these were clay sculpting, sand painting, making pet rocks, using light sensitive paper to make amazing pictures and using a real fish to make beautiful fish prints. In cooking classes the campers learned how to do many things with our school’s chef. They made bread from scratch, garlic scape pesto and zucchini brownies, to name just a few. They also brought produce back from the farm daily and would prep vegetables for sauteing and enjoy a small feast at the end of the day. Each Friday, cooking classes were a bit longer and the campers helped out to prepare a family style lunch for everyone!
