Coleman's Camp WINTER 2013 - Outside Adventures in Nature
When the weather allows for outside learning we head out to create imaginative sandbox activities that build upon our interests, utilize our creativity, and transform the library and surrounding grounds. We transform plowed snow into miniature ski slopes, reenactment movie themes, investigate empty automatic car washes, and plan jailbreaks!

Coleman's Camp - Weekly Journal Entry: 4/1/2013
Week of 4-1: The Thursday and Saturday group watched several short video segments on Endangered animals from National Geographic as we planned to work with Violet and Hazel's grandfather to "adopt" four of the animals through an impressive program with the Omaha Zoo. The kids in each session read about the animals and made choices based primarily on cuteness and familiarity with the animals. The Thursday group again enjoyed the outside weather and played their second game of psychiatrist with a few new students who had not experienced the problem-solving and high abstract reasoning process before as they were absent. The Saturday set off on an outdoors adventure, exploring well past the Corinth Library parking lot they knew well. They were able to find spring blooms, interesting drainage areas, fossils in the rocks, landscaping structures, and even (thanks to Violet's keen eye) discovering a secret passage between seemingly solid bushes and a security wall!
