This week the theme of Camp Orion was Science FUNdamentals. It was only natural for one day to be devoted to exploring science concepts outside. Thanks to our Greenspace with Grace outdoor classroom project we now have even more ways to use our space in this way. Walking around this afternoon it was evident that our efforts are paying off.
Camp Orion campers were: 
*cutting up watermelon pieces to add to the worm bin*sorting out worms to feed to the chickens
*moving mulch to garden paths a
*adding plants to our herb garden
*decorating new plant markers
*creating garden wind chimes
*harvesting coriander to put in hand decorated seed packets
*checking out our new compost tumbler and
*using individually made solar cookers to make s’mores.
A fundamental tenant of the Orion School program is that high interest experiential activities and projects are necessary to increase participation for children who have neurobehavioral challenges including ADHD and Asperger’s Syndrome. Today is was clear that Camp Orion campers also benefit from this approach.
