CAMPERS LEARN ABOUT ENERGY AND DEFEAT THE ENERGY LEECH!

Campers at SPREE’s Adventures Outside Holiday Camp enjoyed a beautiful January day learning about energy at Johnson-Habitat Park. Campers explored the camp building and park grounds on an energy scavenger hunt, learning about the many forms of energy around us. They then made paper cup rockets and launchers, decorating their rockets before using elastic energy to send them flying! Click here to make your own rocket.

We worked together to create our own board game full of energy-saving tips and consequences for wasting energy. Then we played together to see who could reach the finish line first. Campers also created their own energy-saving reminders for our SPREE Headquarters building, finding creative words and pictures to help remind everyone to turn lights off, unplug, and save energy.

​Later in the day, we learned the pros and cons of different types of energy, from coal to wind power. We created sailboats and harnessed wind energy to sail them down at the river. We closed our activities with a "Wanted" poster for the Energy Leech. Our efforts at camp helped us defeat him, at least for now!
