What a wonderful week it has been here in the Discovery studio! This week, Discovery heroes continued to prepare for their upcoming survivor quest exhibition & camping trip. They created signs and programs. The heroes’ creativity shined through their designs, and they took great pride in making sure their signs would inspire and guide attendees through the exhibition. It’s incredible to see how they have embraced the spirit of teamwork in every step of their preparations.
Meanwhile they also completed their meal plans, budget and food shopping lists, considering the cost and convenience. Discovery heroes thoughtfully planned meals for the group camping trip that would not only be delicious and nutritious but also easy to prepare in a camping environment. The heroes are all looking forward to their overnight camping trip! It’s sure to be an unforgettable experience filled with learning, teamwork, and fun!
After pitching their tents, the heroes led the exhibition which consisted of stations, where heroes led parents and Spark heroes through survival skills: knot tying, water filtration, fire-building, and hoisting a bear bag. The heroes also led families through afternoon activities including kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding and swimming. They wrapped up the exhibition with a Socratic discussion around the campfire, and we shared our goal’s for next year at Acton Academy!
The camping trip was a ton of fun, and families requested that it become an annual tradition. It’s been a tremendous year and we are looking forward to seeing everyone again in the Fall! Have a great summer!
