We have a need...a need for BEES! Students will have hands-on experiences with Rossman’s Bees. These adventures will include indoor and outdoor learning with Mrs. Boyd. From tools, hive inspections, common threats and pests, building bee baths, weird but true bee facts, planting flowers, honey taste tests, and more. Students will gain confidence and skills to prepare them for a lifelong love of learning and appreciation of bees! Parents are invited to join the last hour of the last camp day to view the bees from the observation hive, watch a slideshow of pictures from the week, and see what your Junior Beekeeper has learned.

Join Rossman’s Mr. Crossland and Ms. Hutchinson for a culinary adventure! After touring the Rossman kitchen, campers will learn how to be safe and organized as they set out to prepare tasty foods. Campers will enjoy making healthy snacks, decorating cookies, and even making homemade pizzas.

Your child's in for an action-packed week focused entirely on rockets and the physics of rocket flight! After learning the model rocket safety code, campers will build different types of rockets and participate in rocket launches during the week-long program. Children will be divided into three groups: altitude trackers, launch preparers, and launchers for rocket launches and will get the opportunity to try different roles. Note: We will launch rockets and your child will build several types of rockets. Our camp includes everything your child needs during our camp day.

However, if you wish to continue your child’s interest in rocket launches outside our camp, you will need to purchase a launch kit from Walmart or a hobby shop.
