Re: Self Sustainable Team : Summer Camps.

This year Bacon is holding 2 week long summer camps. One for 5 -8th graders and one for 2-5th graders. (that one is sold out). We were approached to do this camp by a school after we had worked with their cub scouts helping them earn their science belt loop.

We will be paid 100.00 per kid. Our camp will run from 9 to 1pm everyday. We are expanding on our Exploding Science program. In the mornings we will do team building activities, then fun experiments in Chemistry, Physics, wind and solar power and simple machines. Then snack time and outdoor time, then we work with the Lego Mindstorms kits. On Friday we will have a mini tournament.

We can take up to 30 students per week.

This is the first time we have ever done something this complex. We ran a robot camp for 4-H several years ago but didn't do anything other than Lego robots.

Should be interesting to see how we pull it off.
