The World Around Us
We’ll journey through our walking trails, meet the animals that call the mountain home, take a look through a telescope, and use technology to view RMSC from the sky. Campers will get an in-depth look at how observation can tell them a lot about the world around them. Each day will focus on one of the five senses as we learn to be good observers and use all of our senses.
