Killoqua's fall activities include outdoor education programs for local schools. Through the end of October, we'll welcome busloads of kids, teachers and parents here for single- and multi-day experiences. Our fall staff leads the activities and has a blast with the students. This season's crew includes Melissa, Jimmy, Dana, Jesse and Becky. They're pictured here with Joanna, Cassie, Pearl and Juneau the puppy (look closely - she blends in!).OE programs have a mix of field studies - covering forest, wetlands, wildlife, etc. - and actvities such as group teambuilding, the climbing wall, archery, canoeing, night hikes, singing, camp fires and skit nights. As the leaves change color and the night air becomes crisper, we'll be out exploring camp's 185 acres and learning about the plants, animals and ecosystems we find here!
Many community groups assist Killoqua throughout the year. This month, we'd like to thank Fluke Corporation and REI!
camp units, rebuilding and restocking firewood boxes, washing windows, and clearing brush along the meadow to reclaim the volleyball court. We're looking forward to using the new court when it's completed in 2009!
Summer wrapped up in late August with mini camp, a shorter week for new overnight campers, and the last week of day camp. We had a good time that week ... day campers ventured into the star lab from the Museum of Flight and did activities for the "Spies Like Us" theme. Overnight campers learned new songs (the banana song was one of many popular ones), had a skit night, went swimming and boating, and did lots more, including cookouts on Tuesday night.
