Good morning and welcome to Camp.

>>I'm Lori.

>>I'm Dan.

>>And we are coming to you from Camp Fowler, located in Orfield, Pennsylvania.

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

We're going to be getting up and moving around and doing some kickboxing.

Then we're going to visit our friends at Art's Quest to do some crafts.

>>Plus, we'll be visited by some local teachers.

Let's go join our friends, Isaac and Jenn, and learn about committing to goals.

>>Hi, welcome back to Camp Fowler.

>>I'm Jenn.

>>I'm Isaac.

>>And today we have all of our friends here with us to help us talk about committing to goals.

We have Connor and Caleb and Dan and Elizabeth and Kyle.

So I have this really cool activity for us all to play.

So I've given you all your lava proof spots.

Well, except for Caleb.

So here's the deal.

This is a lava pit.

Don't worry, though.

I have lava>>proof shoes.

Isaac, you might want to hop back over there, though.

So your goal as a team will be to walk across the lava pit off the other side over here.

The only way you can do that is by stepping on your lava>>proof spots.

You want to get your whole team to the other side.

So you need to pay attention to who has what.

Here's the other thing.

If any one of the spots is not in contact with you, your foot, your hand or anything like that, it gets sucked into the lava and drowns.

So then you don't have that spot.

If one of your people falls into the lava, you have to restart.

All right.

How about we give it a try?

So I'm going to stay out here and just kind of pay attention with you all, but I'm going to leave it up to you all to get your team across.

OK?

So, yes, you're going to start on this side.

The lava starts and ends where the cones are.

Who's going first?

Nominating Isaac it seems.

>>I'm scared of lava, guys, I don't know.

>>Lost that spot.

>>No!

So I have to have my hands on it?

>>Kyle almost seems like it's going to happen again.

There we go.

This is good teamwork.

So looks like Connor's gonna give you his.

Way to as for what you need.

So Dan wants to step on with you.

I like the spotting that's happening.

That's cool.

Everything is legal so far.

Woah.

>>Don't let go.

>>All right, Kyle, paying attention.

>>Oh, no!

>>Last spot.

>>All right, we've got to think about this.

I'll put both my feet on this.

>>So one foot there, and one there.

OK.

You're doing a good job.

All right.

Independent twister.

>>Yes, and I have one.

>>OK.

>>I'm going to jump in.

>>You might want to make sure.

OK.

You can jump.

All right.

You have one of your team members across.

OK.

There you go.

OK.

Nice.

>>And Liz has to get her foot where Caleb is.

>>There you go, using each other.

That's cool.

>>You have to step on the yellow before Kyle jumps.

>>Oh, yeah.

Two people across.

OK, cool.

All right.

>>Good job.

>>Awesome.

Almost across this lava.

>>There we go.

Nice!

>>Yeah!

That was good.

>>All right.

So why don't we come back on over here?

Yeah.

There we go.

>>Through the lava, sorry.

>>Cool.

Good job.

So how did it feel to make it from one side to the other?

>>It was hard because I messed up automatically and I felt very bad about it.

But I did have to understand that it's a game.

And I had to let go of that kind of.

I felt super bad about it.

>>Yes, it was off to a rocky start, but you're really committed, you had your whole team behind you and you just kept on going and everyone was able to get it done using each other.

So our journal prompt for you today is, is it easier to accomplish a goal by yourself or with someone else?

So think about it.

What things are easier by yourself?

What's easier when you have other people and let us know or tell a trusted adult.

Thanks for being here.

We'll see you tomorrow.

Bye.

>>That was so cool.

Thanks.

Some of our local teachers are joining us this week.

Let's go learn something new.

Hi, everybody, welcome to camp.

My name is Joyce Rizza, and today we're going to be making straw rockets.

So what you're going to need is a piece of paper four straws, tape, and a pair of scissors.

So your first step is to take your paper and cut two strips the long way.

Then you're going to take one of those two strips and you're going to cut it in half.

So just fold the paper.

Then your next step is to take your straws and the bendy type work really well or paper ones do as well and cut right below the bendy part.

On each straw.

I straighten it a little bit when I'm doing it just because it's a little easier to make sure you're getting underneath the bendy part.

Next step.

Is you take your tape and you're gonna make two circles, one with your smaller strip of paper.

And one with your larger paper.

OK, once I have that done, then you're going to take your straws and you're going to put the straws on the inside of the big circle.

Does not have to completely stick out, but as long as you have it to the towards the edge, it's going to work really well.

And then I do across so I can make sure I'm getting them evenly around the paper.

So now I have my first two straws across from each other, I'll put the last two straws in.

Again, you want to try and make sure that they are spread evenly.

It helps with having the distance between.

Once you have that done, you're going to take your smaller and you're going to put that inside the straws, you're going to tape the straws outside your circle.

Once you have it done, you can actually just kind of push it a little bit.

Make sure it's all secure and you can throw it.

That shows you how far it goes.

Thank you guys so much for joining us at camp today.

>>Let's go learn something new.

>>Hi, I'm Kevin with Funny Farm Apiaries.

>>I'm Wendy from Funny Farm Apiaries.

We're here today to talk about the importance of honeybees, starting with the understanding the different bees, the lifespan of the bees.

>>How honey is made and how wax is made.

And then we'll have a few fun facts for you at the end.

>>So understanding the difference between honeybees and other bees is another thing that could help the honeybee survive.

We get calls that people have bees and we can come and get them.

If people understand and can see the difference, they will know which ones to save and which ones they would need to call an exterminator for.

Honeybees have a smaller, slimmer body compared to a bumblebee.

The honeybee has a caramel body with dark brown stripes.

The bumblebee has a large, fuzzy body, but they can't sting as they don't have stingers.

They're also known as the gentle giants in the bee world.

Although they are pollinators, they're not as prolific as the honey bee and they don't produce honey.

The honey bee usually docile and only stings if they feel threatened or feel as if the hive is under attack, are sometimes mistaken for the aggressive yellow jacket.

As shown in the picture, yellowjackets' bodies are bright yellow with black stripes.

The honeybee can only sting once due to their barbed stinger.

Yellowjackets, also known as hornets, can sting multiple times due to their smooth stinger.

They're aggressive and they do not need to be provoked to sting.

A bald faced hornet is mostly black with highlights of white on its face and their body.

This is a highly aggressive hornet and can sting multiple times.

Bald faced hornets are known for their large, ball shaped paper nest.

Which they build in the spring for raising their young.

These nests can sometimes reach three feet tall.

Hornets are very protective of their colony and will attack if someone approaches within a few feet of the nest.

When a bee or wasp stings, it injects a venomous fluid under the skin of the victim.

>>Another bee that we want to talk about is a Mason Bee.

A Mason Bee is native to Pennsylvania and it's a very prolific pollinator.

They're nonaggressive.

They lay in tubes and they will lay about four to five eggs, sometimes six in a tube, depending on how large it is.

In between each egg they also pack food and mud between each egg and then they emerge in the spring.

They are very important too as a pollinator and they sometimes lay their eggs in little houses like this.

They will use any type of little hole they can find to put their eggs in and mud.

They will visit about 1600 to 2000 blossoms daily, and the female lays three or four males every egg.

Many times the mason bees are called mud bees.

They're a very solitary bee.

They really keep to themselves.

They are excellent for biology projects for students as well as ongoing community projects for gardening and youth groups.

Mason Bees provide hours of enjoyment for observation because of their nesting habits and such.

>>So just to summarize, we talked about the different bees that are available in the world.

And we also touched on the Mason bees, which are also very prolific pollinators and as important as the honeybees are.

>>Tomorrow we'll talk about the difference of the bees in the honey bee hive.

There's three castes and we'll talk about that tomorrow then.

>>Thanks.

Now let's get our heart rate up and do some kickboxing with Priscilla.

Hi, everybody, my name's Priscilla and I'm here with Camp Fowler and I'm going to show you how to do some kickboxing today.

It's a great cardio workout.

We're going to work our arms, our core and our legs.

So we're going to start with a little warmup.

You're going to do a bob and weave.

Keep your hands up and I'm going to show you some of our punches.

The first one is a jab.

You have a slight bend in your elbow.

Don't overlap those joints.

The next one is your uppercut, going for your opponent's chin, about six to eight inches from yours.

And then a hook is the side of the head.

That's your hook.

And last but not least, is your body shot.

It's a little lower going for the kidney.

So we're going to be using some of these combinations today to get that good workout.

So back to the bob and weave.

Let's go through one more time.

Jab is forward.

uppercut.

Going for that opponent's chin.

Hook is the side of the head and body shot is a little bit lower.

So what I want you to do is put one foot in front of the other and I'm going to teach you your first combination.

Jab, jab, cross punch, jab, jab, cross punch.

March four, three, two, one.

Jab, jab, cross punch, jab, jab, cross punch four, three, two.

Two more like this.

Then we'll add the legs.

Cross punch, jab, jab, cross punch.

Four, three, two, one.

Last one like this.

Cross punch, cross punch Four, three.

You're going to bring that front knee up.

So it's jab, jab, cross punch.

Jab, jab, cross punch.

Four, three, two, one.

Again, jab, jab, cross punch, jab, jab, cross punch.

Four, three, two, one.

Two more like this.

Cross punch, jab, jab, cross punch.

Knee up.

Three, two, one.

Last one like this.

Cross punch, jab, jab, cross punch.

Four, three, two, one.

Now I want you to march in place or boxer shuffle if you want to get your heart rate up a little bit more.

All we're doing is switching sides.

So we're going to learn it on this side and it's going to be jab, jab, cross punch, jab, jab, cross punch.

March four, three, two, one, jab, jab, cross punch, jab, jab, cross punch, Four, three, two more like this.

You can do it.

Jab, jab, cross punch.

Jab, jab.

Cross punch.

Four, three, two.

Last one like this.

Then you're going to add that front knee coming up.

Here we go.

Jab.

Jab.

Cross Punch.

Jab.

Jab.

Cross Punch, knee, four, three, two, one.

Jab, jab, cross punch.

Jab, jab, cross punch.

Four, three, two, one.

Jab, jab.

Cross punch, jab, jab cross punch.

Four, three, two.

Last one like this.

Jab, jab, cross, jab, jab, cross, four, three, two, one.

March it out.

Now we're going to add some jumping jacks to this to get your heart rate up.

So level one, you don't have to jump.

I want you to tap out to the side.

Tap out to the side.

Level two regular jumping jacks up and down, up and down.

You can do it.

Eight more.

Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.

Back to your bob and weave, bob and weave.

And I'm going to show you your kicks that we're going to do next time we meet up.

So march in place and we're going to kick front, kick front, kick front.

Knee comes up, kick through your heel.

You can do it.

Eight more.

Seven, six, five, four, three, two.

We're gonna do a sidekick.

Pick a side, lean and kick.

Eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two.

And then kick behind you.

Eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two and one.

Bob and weave.

And I'll see you next time.

Thanks so much.

>>Thanks.

That was great.

Let's check in with our friends from the Girl Scouts of eastern Pennsylvania.

>>Hi, everyone.

I'm Chiara and I'm with the Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania, and I am so excited to start off our exploration of Earth's natural forces with earthquakes.

Do you know what causes an earthquake?

We should probably start with the basics.

The earth is made up of four main layers.

The inner core, the outer core, the mantle and the crust.

And that's where we're going to focus today.

The crust is like a giant jigsaw puzzle made up of lots of smaller pieces.

And those pieces are called tectonic plates.

Tectonic plates are what cause earthquakes.

Well, you might be wondering, how is that possible?

Well, those plates are floating around on the mantle and constantly moving.

And there are three main forms of movement of the plates.

Let's pretend these are our tectonic plates.

Right.

So the first type of movement is convergent.

And that's where the plates are slowly coming together and colliding and forcing materials like rock upward.

And that's going to cause land formations on our earth's surface.

Did you think of mountains?

You're right, that's exactly it.

It's forming mountains.

The second type of movement is the exact opposite.

So instead of colliding, those plates are slowly moving apart, slowly separating.

And when that happens on the earth's surface, we start to see deep trenches.

Now, this movement is happening so slowly that we don't actually feel it in real time.

But the third type of movement, that's where we feel the side effects and what's happening with the plates there is they're rubbing together sideways and all of that rubbing that builds and builds up pressure and over time that pressure needs to be released.

And when it's released, it's released on the surface, as, you guessed it, an earthquake.

So where in the world is all of this happening?

Let's check out a map.

This map shows the huge tectonic plates.

Like I said, they were smaller than the crust because the world is so big, but really they're huge and they take up a lot of space.

And where all of these lines are, that's the plates coming together and forming the puzzle.

If you see these marks, that's where lots of activity is happening, volcanic activity, earthquakes.

And I love this map because it really clearly shows the ring of fire.

The ring of fire is the place on the earth that has the most amount of activity.

There are over 400 volcanoes in this area alone and they're active and dormant.

This area also is where we see 90% of our earthquakes.

So what does that mean for those living in that area?

It means they need to have safe structures to live in.

So there are scientists who are doing all of this seismic and tectonic research and those scientists are seismologists.

What's interesting is that engineers can use that seismic research to build better, stronger, more reliable structures like buildings and bridges to make it safer for those who live in the regions like the ring of Fire.

One of the things that they do, like all good scientists, is they test out their theories before they put them to use.

So they'll use what's called a shake table to test out models of designs.

As you can see, I don't have a shake table because guess what, we're doing that tomorrow.

Join us tomorrow where we learn more about what a shake table is, how it's used, and we'll even build our own.

Thank you.

See you tomorrow.

>>That was awesome.

Let's jump over to the banana factory and do some crafting with Art's Quest.

>>Hi, everyone.

My name is Elena.

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

Today, I'm going to show you how to do a very fun, a little bit messy paper marbling technique.

And this just uses any sort of shaving cream you may have.

As long as it's kind of foamy, it should work.

Food coloring.

You can get away with like watercolors if you have those instead.

And something along the lines of like a popsicle stick, toothpick, chopstick and some paper, of course, to actually do the marbling on.

So this is a pretty easy process.

Our first thing we do is dish out some shaving cream.

You don't want too much.

I always make this mistake.

I get overexcited.

I put out way too much shaving cream and then it's kind of a mess to work with.

So this is probably about the right amount.

And then we pick our food coloring colors.

I always like to start out a little bit slow and just add a few different colors at a time.

And my favorite color is yellow.

So I'll start with that.

I would add like four five drops to start out with because that's a lot of shaving cream.

And you'd be surprised how it kind of disappears into there.

A little bit of red too, because I think this is more fun when you have a couple of colors going on.

What you don't want to do when you get started is get overexcited by it, add every single color and then mix them all together totally, because then you just kind of lined up with gray sludge.

I see people do this a lot.

Tonight, I'm going to take my popsicle stick and I'm going to kind of carefully mix my shaving cream together.

I don't want to mix it so much that it's all just solid because then you won't get that marbled effect when you do the print.

So this looks pretty good to get started.

I now take my piece of paper and gently kind of squash it into the shaving cream.

Then I pull it up and I kind of have a mess still.

So what I'll do now is take my other popsicle stick.

I'm going to scrape off all that shaving cream and I can reuse this.

I'm gonna just try to scrape it onto my paper plate again.

And so now I have made my very first print.

And you can basically keep making prints until you run out of paper or until it turns into your kind of green or gray kind of mess that happens.

But I'll show you, as I make these prints, I like to keep slowly adding colors.

So now I'll add a few drops of blue to kind of change things up again and I might even add some red next to the blue.

So maybe I'll get some cool purples in there.

All right.

So, again, I'll mix it up with my popsicle stick or whatever I have handy.

Now, because I have my red, yellow and blue, I do have some parts where it's mixing together to make gray, but that's not the end of the world.

All right.

So I squish this down again.

And this paper, you can use any kind of paper for this.

I think this is basically just computer paper.

But if you have a thicker paper, that'll work just fine.

So now, again, I can scrape off my shaving cream as best I can.

You can see I have a lot more color in this print.

You can also see that this project gets a little bit messy.

Shaving cream gets everywhere.

But here is my second print and now I'm going to use the same colors I have.

Maybe I'll add a little bit more of the red and blue because I want that purple.

But I'll do one last print for you guys.

And for this, I'm going to really add a lot of red and blue to try to get that purple color.

It may not work out, but the great thing about this project is you might have shaving cream just at home already.

It's looking a little bit black, but not the end of the world.

So I have my swirls of color and I have my piece of paper.

I'm going to press it into my shaving cream one last time.

Peel it up and scrape it off.

You can also do multiple prints on the same piece of paper if you have a really big piece of paper or if you want to see like multiple colors overlapping.

I really filled up this piece of paper, so I don't think I'll need to do two prints at once.

But here is my third and final print.

That's how you do shaving cream marbling.

Thank you guys so much for watching.

My name is Elena.

>>What a great day at camp.

We hope you had fun with us today.

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

>>Bye.
