| Without many man-made structures, BCWS has a wide variety of habitats including wildlife that is becoming rare in other places. |
(Do you see the skink?)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
During the first few mornings you
can learn about mammals, birds, insects, mushrooms,reptiles, amphibians,
geology, plants, fresh water life, weather, etc.
|
|
|
|
Campers have about 6 mornings for projects they have chosen: projects have ranged from pen-and-ink drawings to pond scum, from pressed plants to salamander surveys, from bridge building to bird watching. |
|
|
|
|
The food is plentiful and tastes great, for those who do and do not eat meat. Staff and campers eat together family style |
|
|
|
|
The daily inspection report is always
taken very seriously...
|
|
|
After lunch and rest, we get going again by taking a refreshing swim |
|
Those who are not swimming enjoy their
free time in a variety of ways.
|
||
| Every afternoon there are
new options to choose from. Some favorites have included: |
||
|
|
Natural clay pots |
Pond Scum |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are frequent opportunities to
climb 60 feet into the treetops for canopy studies on platforms and
walkway.
|
||
|
|
|
One feature at dinner is recording
the birds or butterflies seen that day.
|
|
|
|
|
Every evening brings something different:
nighthikes, folklore, games,
skits, cook-outs, sleepouts, and special events that change every year. |
|
| Each session is stuffed, no two are the same, and many campers come year after year. If you would like to see a slide show about the camp (in the Washington DC area) and/or speak with a BCWS camper to hear more about the place from his or her point of view, just contact us. | |
