Blogging on Bogging

This afternoon a group chose to investigate a nearby bog, a place where a thick layer of plant material, mostly moss, floats on a shallow body of water. As KEEC leader Matt put it "it is like trying to walk on a waterbed." We found Pitcher plants that attract bug to a sweat liquid then consume them for food! As usual the video shows our adventure better than a description. And it wasn't even buggy.....

X-Stream Hiking

A select group of kids chose X-stream hiking this AM for Thursday choice activities. This is using a stream bed as a path, hiking up the water, getting help from fellow KEECers, and of course getting wet and having fun. It was much cooler today, and some of us actually got cold for the first time. A good sunny rock was a perfect spot to chill and warm up.

Hot Days and cooling down

Wow what a scorcher here at KEEC today. We have been pushing fluids, finding shade, and looking for unique opportunities for a cool down, like a sprinkler.....
We also went swimming before dinner, pictures of that to come later, I was in the water too!
Thunderstorms are looming on the evening sky, bringing cool weather for our last full day!YAY!

Water exploration

The campers have been exploring water in swamps, bogs and wetlands. We've also been insisting that they drink water- lots of it! And they hope to be swimming in the lake later today.
