During the week of July 9-13, Hannah attended "Camp Habitat", an all-day camp associated with Creamer's Field Wildlife Refuge, a large tract of land near Fairbanks used primarily as rest stop for migratory birds. Camp Habitat aims to teach kids early about the environment, animals, and the ecosystem. This photo shows the four wall tents used as a basecamp to do crafts, when the kids (arranged in different age groups) aren't out on a trail or doing something else in the refuge. We came at the end of the last day, Friday, for a 15 minute end-of-camp celebration.
Here's Hannah's group finishing up their animal masks prior to the "closing ceremony"!
Hannah's group sang a couple of songs prior to the big "parade", where all the campers walk in a big circle and sing the "Camp Habitat" song. Let me tell you, the excitement was almost most than a person could bear! [Hannah's counselor was Scott, the young guy in black shirt and green bandana. He was great!].
Evelyn is being introduced to the trail system in the boreal forest behind the Creamer's Dairy. Little does she know, but this is the beginning of a long, long relationship she will have with this place!!
