Good morning and welcome to Camp.

I'm Lori.

>> I'm Dan.

And we're coming to you from Camp Fowler located in Orfield, Pennsylvania.

>> We have a lot of awesome activity scheduled for this week.

We'll be learning a lot of cool things from the cradle of Liberty Council of the Boy Scouts of America.

Then we're going to check in the garden back with farmer Erica to check out what's new.

>> We'll also be doing some crafts with our friends from Art's Quest.

Let's start the day with our friends, Jenn and Isaac.

>> Hey, everyone, welcome back to Camp Fowler.

I'm Isaac.

>> I'm Jenn.

>> And we're joined here with our friends Liz, Caleb, Lori and Dan.

So this week we are going to be focusing on care of self and others.

So pretty self-explanatory, but that's caring for yourself and also caring for the people around you.

So today to demonstrate that we are going to be doing what we call the nitro swing.

So it's half of an element and half of a little bit of an activity.

So what we have here is our scenario is that we are climbing up a big snowy mountain and we have come across a large gap in the ice and we have to get across it.

The only way that we can get across it is this rope.

So what we're going to have to do is going to have to get across the big chasm in the earth using the rope.

You can use any part of the rope.

You can do anything that you want with the rope, as long as that's what gets you over.

If your feet touch the ground in the area that we've separated by these ropes, then you have to start back at the beginning.

So the goal is to get everybody across the gap.

Questions, comments, concerns.

OK.

So your first task, though, is you actually have to get the rope.

So I am not going to help you get the rope.

I will help spot.

And then once people are over, they will help spot as well.

>> OK.

All right.

So gather.

See if we could do this.

Let's see if anyone could just reach the rope.

Try and just reach it.

I can't just reach it.

>> Well, I think I'm kind of taller.

>> Can you reach it?

>> I could kind of keep on going a little bit.

OK, I got it.

All right.

>> Good job.

>> All right, cool.

You got the rope.

>> Good teamwork.

>> All right.

>> You want to try to go first?

>> All right.

So what's your plan?

>> Just reach up high.

>> OK.

OK.

>> All right.

>> Try to reach up high.

Lori.

>> Oh, nice.

>> Nice.

Nice.

You got it.

>> I make it?

>> Yeah.

>> That was close.

>> OK.

So let's see.

Maybe toss it back.

I'll try and catch it.

Could've gone either way.

Anybody want to go?

I don't know if I can do what Lori did.

>> I think you could do it.

Yeah.

>> You gotta have confidence.

Want me to try?

>> Yeah.

That'd be great.

I'd love to see it work for two people.

>> I will give everyone the challenge though of you can only use the same method twice.

>> OK.

All right.

Well, that works.

I'm not super confident about it anyway.

And I'm thinking about some other ways that might work.

So, Dan, if you feel like you can do this way, you can go for it.

Does anyone feel comfortable trying this?

>> I'll try.

>> OK.

>> So, you might have to kind of spot a little bit over here.

Grab me maybe.

Because I might not be able to get off right away.

OK.

One, two, three.

>> OK.

We lost the whole team in the chasm!

OK.

Dan made it.

Does that count?

>> Yeah.

>> Thanks.

>> All right.

So we'll spot you here.

Are you guys ready to spot her over there?

>> All right.

Nicely done.

>> She make it?

>> Yep.

>> All right.

So we need a new strategy.

So you want a wrap around like you're sitting on it, but make sure you pull up high enough so that when you get to the middle and the rope is longer, you don't hit the ground.

All right.

Make that look easy.

I have two options that we've already had work.

>> Yeah.

>> OK, cool, I'm going to get a spotter over here to help take care of me, too.

Thank you.

All right, I'll try this way.

See if it worked for me as well as it did for Caleb.

See what happens.

All right.

Here we go.

So smooth.

>> The smoothest.

>> All right.

Cool.

>> So great job, everybody.

So how does this apply to care for self and others> >> Well, I thought it was really cool that we were able to take into account different ways.

Like I wasn't comfortable really with the first way.

So we were able to find another way.

>> Right.

>> I know for me, I was comfortable trying different ways.

And I wanted to help you guys out because some of you might not be as confident.

So I was just thinking about others and that whole process.

>> So that takes us to this week's draw prompt, which was when was a time where you had to adjust something in order to get somebody else to where you were.

So kind of like our swing.

So when was a time when you had to.

Maybe you were doing something a certain way and then you had to come back and help somebody else.

All we have for you today.

Have a great day.

We'll see you tomorrow.

>> Bye.

>> That was great.

Let's go learn something new with our friends from the Cradle of Liberty Council, from the Boy Scouts of America.

>> Hey, kids, how are you doing?

My name is Jenn.

Today, we're going to go over something called The Da Vinci Bridge.

When you think of Leonardo da Vinci, what do you think?

I typically think of his passion of art.

But did you know that he had a passion for science and engineering?

In fact Da Vinci did design several magnificent machines and bridges.

In fact, the reason this bridge is so magnificent is that it didn't require any mechanical fasteners, tools or rope to assemble only requires gravity and friction when a downward force is applied to the bridge.

The components of the bridge tighten and lock, creating a nice, strong, safe and secure bridge so people can walk over.

Now let's go demonstrate.

Today, we're going to demonstrate a bigger version of The Da Vinci Bridge.

This is Darwin and his mom.

Do you know why Da Vinci designed a bridge like this?

He designed it like this so multiple people can carry parts of the bridge.

So be easy to assemble.

And not one person had to carry a big enough load.

You know how much weight one of these could possibly hold?

They could hold up to 1,000 lb.

I don't think you weigh that right?

So why don't you try it?

We're gonna have Darwin demonstrate walking over The Da Vinci Bridge.

That's cool.

You can build one of these at home with some Popsicle sticks and some rubber bands, the rubber bands are usually used to create a little bit of friction because otherwise you'll be really slippery.

So the bridge when you're creating it is sort of like a pattern.

So you have your cross bar.

Two sticks above and take two more and weave them in like so.

So this is the first.

This is basically the pattern that you would repeat throughout the DaVinci Bridge.

So then you're taking another crossbar.

Shove it underneath.

Take two more sticks.

Shove underneath, weave it into that crossbar.

Again, using the downward force, I'm going to secure it so I can adjust the stairs.

And I do it one more time.

Take this.

Weave underneath.

Secure a little bit.

Two more sticks and weave them under this crossbar.

When the downward force is applied, this is a pretty stable bridge.

Really can't move anything.

But when I do a lateral force, there you go.

I hope you had a lot of fun and I hope you try this at home and come back later.

See you guys.

>> That was so cool.

Thanks.

Some of our local teachers are joining us this week.

Let's go learn something new.

>> Hi.

Welcome to Camp.

My name is Caitlin Lensman.

I'm a librarian in the Easton Area School District.

And as a librarian, I bet you can't guess one of my favorite things to do is to read one.

The hard thing about reading is sometimes you're reading your book and you lose your page and you're right at that good spot and you want to go back to that page again and you just can't find it.

Well, I got a trick for you today, mixing some of that reading with some fun art as well.

So I brought my book in today and to keep my spot I have an origami bookmark.

This bookmark lets me mark wherever I want and I get to personalize it for whatever I want it to be.

So for this you need paper, it can be computer paper, construction paper, newspaper, something that you can bend.

You need a pair of scissors, pencil and then markers at the end or crayons, something to color and make it yours.

So I'm starting off today with construction paper.

We're going to be making a square.

The square is a good reference is about the size of a small napkin.

So I want to take my paper and a way to do it so I don't have to measure it on that or get a ruler.

Fold it in half, making sure I line up those corners.

Fold that in half.

Open it up.

So now I have a half paper.

Take one corner up to that other side.

Fold that in.

This fold is going to get me a head start on later, too.

This is where the pencil comes in.

Trace down the sides.

When I open it up I now have a square along this fold.

And along the side here.

You could try ripping it if you don't have scissors.

But that doesn't always come out straight.

I recommend using the scissors on one side.

And the nice thing is now, if I wanted to, I could make a second origami bookmark out of this one.

I have my square to start.

Remember, we did that fold just before to fold in half.

I'm going to put that back in and make sure I fold it tight along the bottom.

So that's our first fold.

Our next one to make our bookmark is we're gonna come up, take the side corner up to the top.

Fold it down.

You want to make sure you put a nice tight fold there because this will help you later.

Do the other side up to that top corner, so it makes a smaller square.

Down again.

Tight crease.

My small square.

Now you're going to open it back up again.

So I have that half triangle.

Take that top corner, makes a little flap like a mouth and I fold just one side of it back down to the bottom.

Fold that over.

So now I have the folds on the side and the fold here.

This is where it actually starts looking like a bookmark.

Take that right corner, fold it up and I'm going to tuck it inside.

So now when I look at it, I have one side open and I tuck the other side into that little pocket.

I take my other side.

Fold back up the way I did the first time.

I'm going to tuck it.

So now I have a choice.

I can leave my bookmark like this, which is similar to how I did mine.

Gave him a little mouth and eyes.

Or I can take this top edge here and I can fold it in.

This is the hard part, takes a little bit more to get this one in.

But I think you can handle it.

I can fold it in.

And I now have a bookmark.

Now that I finished folding, I can color and design it with my markers.

Add a flower this time.

I can change colors up.

Star.

I can add whatever I want.

I can make faces.

I can make designs.

I can make things from my favorite books or games.

Now that my bookmarks done, when I find that great summer read such as this one right here, I n mark my favorite spot and come back to it no matter how many times I want to come back where I put it down.

Hope you had fun at camp today.

Can't wait to hear what fun book you find this summer.

>> How cool was that!

Let's go learn more about wheels with our friends at the National Museum of Industrial History.

>> Hi, everyone.

My name is Amber and I work here at the National Museum of Industrial History.

Today, we're going to talk about human powered wheels.

So we're going to take a look at my artifact over here, which is a lathe.

So let me see.

No way to plug it in.

You see a plug?

How is this machine powered?

There is no plug.

I don't see a steam engine.

All right.

So here we are.

A nice pedal to power our machine.

As you can see, the machine is very light weight.

And so I would love to think about what other things you have in your house that are pedal powered.

The first thing I think of are a bicycle.

So when I take a look at how the bicycle is pedal powered, when I press on the pedal, it moves the bike forward, and when I look at the wheel itself, the wheel is covered in rubber with lots of spokes throughout.

So when I compare what the bike looks like in its pedal power, I can look over at the lathe.

Now the lathe has a pedal, but it only has one versus the two on the bike.

And when I pedal the lathe instead of the machine moving forward, the wheel turns and presses the power up so that I can turn my wood.

So this is how the pedaling works with the lathe, moving the wood and spinning the wheels.

Now, while the spinning action is happening, the artist behind the wheel can make indentations in the wood with different tools.

So here's one of the tools that I could sit on here.

And as it's spinning, it would be creating a crease in the wood, chopping away wood.

Could also use this tool and this tool would be placed on here and it would create a larger circular indent going through the wood.

These tools and this machine would allow me to take this piece of wood and turn it into this piece of wood.

So going from just a block of wood to a beautiful woodworking masterpiece.

Thank you so much for joining me today here at the National Museum of Industrial History.

And come back tomorrow, we're going to look at steam powered machines and how the industrial revolution gave us powerful machines for us to use in the woodworking adventures of the future.

Thanks so much, guys.

See you tomorrow.

>> Let's go learn something new with our friends from the Minsi Trail Council of the Boy Scouts of America.

>> Hi.

I'm Jim with Minsi Trails Council, Boy Scouts of America.

We're going be talking about hiking.

Helping me is going to be Jane.

Jane.

>> Sorry.

There's a creek over there.

>> Yeah.

It's the things I like about hiking a chance to get the feet wet in a creek on a hot day like today.

So what we're going to do is start talking about how you get started on this and it's easy to get started.

Maybe have something like a small light backpack, school pack, maybe string bag, maybe just to get started, to carry some stuff.

And would you mind?

Well, I'll toss to you, but.

>> We are practicing social distancing.

>> There you go.

So I always carry a little first aid kit with me, just enough if I get a little cut or scrape, something like that.

>> He falls down.

He falls down.

>> Really stop pushing that on people.

We'll see how this works.

>> I see how it is.

Thank goodness we have a first aid kit!

>> Some sunscreen.

Here I've got trees.

I love this.

Nice.

It's cooler than where I am back home, but not always that way.

So I'll put sunscreen on before I get started just in case.

And I'll carry more in case I am out later.

Yes.

>> He's delicate.

>> Always put the sunscreen on first.

But yeah then comes the insect repellent.

I carry this stuff in bags just because it's leaked on me before.

I don't want to happen again.

>> You don't like big bites?

>> I hate bug bites.

That's also why I'm wearing long pants just because I really hate the bugs on my legs.

>> And his legs are really pale and white.

>> Not worth putting on TV anyway.

All right.

I like a good assistant.

OK, so that's some of the important stuff.

Take care of it early.

Put it on before we get going.

Hand sanitizer before I have a snack because I'm going to have a snack.

Oh, utter failure!

First hike.

I'm planning on maybe an hour or so.

Not all that long.

So I don't really need a full meal or anything.

I'm just going to grab a bag of trail mix.

Don't really recommend just grabbing a chocolate bar.

Chocolate melts and it becomes a real mess in this kind of weather.

It's summer in the valley.

Fine.

>> Aw.

>> I'm pulling them to the left.

So I'm trying to get something that had some hard candy in there, some nuts, cashews, some raisins, that kind of stuff.

And that's what I'll take for a snack.

I also like being able to, if I'm to sit, I might be wiping some stuff off before I sit on a stump or a chair or something like that.

But also good for taking some of the sweat from the back.

You're not gonna touch that.

>> Social distancing.

>> It's effective in this case.

Make sure you bring water.

I figure one of these bottles for every hour I'm going to be walking.

Might be a little bit much you can guess when you get back.

Hey, did I use it all or not?

But definitely bring some water with you.

Good way to start.

>> Oh, can I bring a soda?

>> No.

Well, you can, trouble is soda, it's gonna just have the sugar you don't need.

But more importantly, it's gonna dehydrate with the caffeine and stuff in there.

>> I recommend something with electrolytes, but little sugar.

And Jim we have two differences.

You are a... >> Scoutmaster.

>> You're a boy.

>> I'm a boy.

>> I'm a girl.

So we take the potty bag.

OK.

In my potty bag, I have a wipe.

Some toilet paper and a takeout bag.

Why do I have a takeout bag?

Because we don't leave it in the woods.

>> Right.

>> So make sure you have that potty bag.

Sometimes you just go.

Got to go.

>> For this first time, a good pair of sneakers.

Good pair of socks.

All you're going to really need again, stay on something like a trail at a park.

>> Dorney Park.

>> No, not Dorney Park.

It's nothing but bright Sun.

And you're going to sweat the death.

One bottle of water is not enough.

>> They have slushies.

>> Lightweight clothes Probably the most important thing from my point of view, a decent hat.

I like this one because it keeps the sun all the way off my neck and stuff and I can spray the bug spray on the edge just to keep the bugs away from my neck.

>> What about my hat?

>> It works for you.

>> Is it a good hiking hat?

Well, it's not really covering the back.

It's a little bit large on ya and what is it made of?

>> Wool.

>> Wool can get kind of warm.

This one I like.

It lets the air flow through.

So that helps quite a bit.

>> You're just upset it's not Superman.

It's Wonder Woman.

>> That's true too.

What you don't want to be doing is trying to hike any distance in something like this.

>> Those are his.

Don't let him lie.

He likes the pink.

Very nice.

>> They fit me really well.

But these things are dangerous when you're hiking because you can hit a rock or something between the toes really hurts.

And it's just not going to be fun after an hour of walking.

So decent pair of sneakers, decent pair of socks and you're all set.

>> Jim, you're boring me.

>> OK.

This is why you bring a buddy along.

You have someone to talk to.

>> We want you to stop that now.

>> OK, fine.

When you're done with the hike, see how you did.

We'll talk about that more tomorrow.

So this is camp.

I'm Jim.

>> I'm Jean.

>> And we're hiking.

>> Let's jump over to the banana factory and check out some cool crafting with Art's Quest.

Hi, my name's Elena.

I work for the Banana Factory, which is part of Art's Quest in Bethlehem, PA.

This week, I'm going to show you guys how to make your own stuffed animal using things you may or may not have around your house.

You're definitely going to need a needle, thread, pins and some fabric.

This can be any sort of scrap fabric.

You may have a T-shirt old blanket or, you know, actual fabric you might buy from the store.

You will need something to stuff your stuffed animal with.

This is a polyfill that's specially made for stuffing stuffed animals, pillows, things like that.

But you can use like scrap fabric, things like that if you want to.

And of course, scissors.

But today, I'll show you how to get started.

And I like to start out by, actually.

I have my fabric and I'm going to fold it in half because I want two layers of fabric and I'm going to fold it in half with like my pattern.

These polka dots on the inside, because that way it's fine if I kind of draw on top of it or mess up on the backside.

But I already have it folded in half.

I'm getting all my extra stuff around the way and I'm going to use a piece of chalk just to kind of sketch out what I want my stuffed animal to look like.

And I'm feeling pretty kind of classic today.

I'm going to draw your standard teddy bear, but your stuffed animal can be anything you want to.

It can be a cat.

It can be a unicorn.

It can be an emoji.

That is entirely up to you.

So I'm going to just sketch out what I want my stuffed animal bear to look like.

All righty.

So my stuffed animal has been outlined in chalk.

That's nice and bright.

So I can actually see it and cut out my shape.

When I cut out my shape I'm not going to follow my lines exactly.

I think my line is where I want to sew.

So I want to leave a little bit of a border around the edge.

So I have room for what we call a hem or that extra little fabric.

So it doesn't just unravel into pieces.

So I can take my scissors.

And I'm actually going to cut through both layers of fabric at once just to make sure that they're almost exactly the same.

And I'm going to leave just a little border all the way around the edge of my white chalk line.

It's OK if you mess this part up and you accidentally cut only on your chalk line, then you'll just have a slightly smaller stuffed animal, not the end of the world.

And when you're cutting these kind of fiddly parts where you have to go all the way in, one thing that can be helpful is cutting off all of your excess rather than trying to cut all the way around in the line.

And so with just this little, little chunk in, I'm going to cut from my edge on both sides of his kind of belly there, or her belly.

Could be a female bear and cut it out in the middle then.

And that way it's a little bit less time consuming and a little bit less frustrating.

If you're like me and you hate all that extra fabric off the edge.

All right, so I have both halves of my stuffed animal together.

They look almost exactly the same.

If you tune back in tomorrow, we'll show you how to sew a face onto your bear and also how to pin it together and get ready to sew the whole creature together.

>> What a great day.

We hope you had fun with us today.

>> Join us again tomorrow for more activities, learning and fun.

>> Bye.
