Ever HUG an Alpaca?
 
Camp Cavell visits Tiger Bunny AcresThese smiling campers were part of our Kid's Summer Camp and choose Animal Camp as their specialty.  They learned pet care by taking care of our animals and pets at camp.  They also learned about being a responsible pet owner by visiting a nearby animal rescue shelter called "Tiger Bunny Acres".   Besides hugging alpacas, they got to collect chicken eggs right from under the chicken, feed tortuous, and pick up peacock feathers.  There were over a hundred animals at the farm.  They learned how the animals were rescued and which kind of animals did not make good pets.  Overall animal camp was a big hit!

TREE Climbing was a hit at
ME and MY MOM Weekend!

 
Camp Cavell tree climber at me and my mom

Smiling faces, excited squeals, and muddy toes made up this great weekend!  The weather hung in there for us and we had an awesome time.  Mom's, grandma's, and aunt's wandered from activity to activity laughing along with the kids, relaxing on the beach, and singing around the campfire.  We had a wonderful group of families who made it a special weekend.

Read a wonderful review of the Me & My Mom Weekend from the Zahler Family!


 
Giant Moth WOW's Campers!
 
 

Take a look at this!

Jeanne our Committee Chairperson came rushing over to tell us about this incredible find!  We later identified it as a Cecropia Moth the largest moth found in North America.  This is the first sighting of one at camp!  They usually only come out at night and they live for two weeks as adults so sightings are rare.  These two were caught out in daylight because they were mating.  We moved them to an aquarium in the Nature Yurt and the female laid her eggs!  In two weeks they will hatch and as the caterpillars grow we will be able to watch them go through their many stages as caterpillars and in late summer spin their cocoons.

Bottled Water a Growing Environmental Problem!
 

Bottles of waterCamp Water VS Bottled Water!
Check out our taste test results!


In a recent taste test at camp, we chilled camp water and let it stand for 24 hours.  In the taste test our guests insisted that our chilled camp water was bottled water!  YEP, they did.
