Last week, our 4 and 5 year old campers focused on the theme of bridges! Throughout the week, campers constructed different kinds of bridges from various materials. They studied the differences between beam, arch, and suspension bridges and showcased their new knowledge through their own projects. Campers created bridges with toothpicks and marshmallows, building blocks, cardboard, and even homemade Rice Krispies! One of our favorite activities this week was our Penny challenge! For this challenge our bridges were solely made of construction paper and plastic cups. Campers explored elements of balance and weight as they tested each bridge to see just how many pennies each could hold!
