>>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, campers.

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

Then we're going to visit our friends at ArtsQuest 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.

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

I'm Isaac.

>>I'm Jenn.

Dan and Kyle.

And today, we're going to be playing some games on the whale watch.

This is one of our low elements that we do during camp.

I'm going to have a couple people come up on the whale watch.

But I want everyone to do is make sure that when you're on the whale watch, we need at least one spotter.

So I'll do spotters in a second.

You can only get onto the whale watch up here so you can only step on this and then step onto the whale watch.

It is a board that moves side to side.

So what you're going to have to do, especially if you're the first person, you're going to have to try to find the happy medium of balance so that you don't immediately knock over.

But if the board hits the ground, then you lose a life and you get three lives.

Caleb and I are going to spot.

All right.

So who wants to go first?

on the whale watch.they cap >>I'm going to climb up here now?

>>Yes, you are.

>>OK.

OK.

>>All right.

Who's next?

OK.

on the whale watch.>All rie >>Watch the whales together.

>>All right, Kyle.

Hey, welcome to the whale.

second to balance.>>So I'la I won't count this as your lives.

>>OK.

Does that feel good?

>>Yeah, it looks good.

OK.

So what I want everyone to do is go to a corner of the whale watch.

Someone has to be in a corner.

>>OK.

So I'm going to just step this way a little bit.

I'm going to go further and then over.

I can stand.

You're pretty close to a corner there.

>>All right.

Now what I want, I want Jenn and Liz to switch spots.

>>OK.

You up for this?

OK.

All right.

So, we shuffling in, or do you just walk?

I'll just keep on scooching.

Feeling good about this, Liz?

>>OK, that's a life.

So two more.

>>It's OK.

We're doing good.

We're doing good.

OK.

>>Now I would like everyone to rotate one spot to their left.

SO Liz goes with Kyle.

>>Glad we clarified.

I'm going where Dan is.

I'm just going to keep scooching over.

>>Oh, you guys have one more life but I feel nice and I will give you an extra life.

>>Yeah, we earned an extra life with our integrity.

>>Now, if you guys are into it, I have an added challenge of throwing the ball.

>> Ooh, throwing a ball.

Doesn't matter who I throw it to?

>>Nope, doesn't matter.

>>All right.

>>All right.

Pause for a sec.

I want Liz and Dan to take one step.

OK.

Keep going with the ball.

Awesome.

OK.

Thank you.

So now we're going to get off the whale watch.

But again, it can't touch either.

So you guys have to figure out who's going off first, how you're going to do it.

You gotta talk to each other to get off.

>>OK, so it's heavier on that side, right?

of get off first, then Kylee yd and I can scooch in as you do it.

Does that make sense?

OK.

OK.

All right.

Cool.

Well, I guess we'd have to stay over here, keep it balanced a little, maybe I'll scooch in and Kyle, you stay a little bit.

Whoops.

I think we still have an extra life.

>>Yeah.

One more life.

>>So we're good.

You scooch, Dan.

>>Oh, no!

No, the ship's sinking.

>>So it's naturally not balanced.

How about maybe we can keep a balance with us both at the edges?

OK.

>>Did you jump?

Going to jump on the count of three.

>>Well done, well done.

>>That was fun.

>>Yeah.

Awesome.

OK.

So committing to goals is difficult because you have to sometimes work with people.

There have been a couple activities we've done this week that include having to go complete a goal with a person.

And clearly a change.

Right?

Because you couldn't have done this goal with just one person like when Jenn was on it.

She couldn't get it balanced.

She needed other people.

But at the same time, that added challenge, added a little bit more of a dynamic.

>>It just makes me think about what we would like you to think about.

Your journal prompt for today is think about a time where your goal changed or shifted before you were able to achieve it.

And what did that mean?

What did that look like?

So thanks for being here with us today.

We will see you tomorrow.

Bye.

>>Bye.

>>That was so cool.

Thanks.

Some of our local teachers are joining us this week.

Let's go learn something new.

>>Hi, my name is Amber Trunfio.

Welcome to camp.

Today I'm going to be showing you how to make a solar oven.

It's a fun summer project and you get a tasty treat out of it.

So the two things you need to do in order to make a solar oven is you need to get as much light into radiant heat,hat lighn which is going to heat up your oven.

The second thing is, you're going to need to trap all of that heat inside of your oven so that it can build.

and rise the temperature.

a pizza box, black construction paper, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, a ruler, a dhow, scissors, tape, a marker, glue, box cutter.

And of course, stuff to make s'mores.

So the first thing I'm going to do with my pizza box is measure about an inch on all sides or you can just use the width of your ruler.

And then the line on the back.

You're not going to cut this.

Rather, this is going to be a fold line.

I'm going to put some squiggles there and then put two dots.

So I know when to stop cutting.

This is where you may need a parent or guardian if you're going to be using a box cutter or Exacto knife.

So make sure you have permission.

And I'm going to cut out the three sides of my pizza box.

Making sure that I stop when I get to that mark that I made.

OK, so now I have my window cut out and I'm going to use that fold line and make sure I fold it back along there.

So this little flap here is going to become a reflective surface and that's going to again get more light and then increase the heat.

So I'm going to take a piece of my aluminum foil.

And kind of an easy trick is to kind of outline that top flap that you have.

So you e you need to cut out.

There we go.

So we're going to use our glue to glue it on, making sure we're getting the edges, covering the whole surface there.

And then we place our reflective piece down.

if you have any little bits hanging, you can just fold it over.

So no worries.

Keep that nice and flat.

The next thing is I'm going to use more aluminum foil and I'm going to be covering the base of the pizza box, because even though pizza boxes are made to insulate, this is going to help hold it even more than a porous cardboard.

Now we're gonna be making our window.

So we've got a way to gather more light through the reflective material.

But now we need to trap it in there.

We're gonna be using the greenhouse effect, much like when you're outside and you go into a car and it's really, really hot in there.

The sunlight is allowed to come through and that creates heat.

But it can't get out.

So we're gonna be making our window with tape and our plastic wrap.

Making sure that it's as tight of a seal as possible so that none of the heat escapes.

So we have our window there.

Keeping that key in.

And then when the last things we're gonna do is we are going to place black paper on the bottom.

Black absorbs the most sunlight.

So, again, another way we're collecting that light in.

Now it's time to make our s'more.

So our graham cracker, our chocolate and our marshmallow.

I'm going to keep this open face so the marshmallow melts faster.

And then one other trick is, in order to get the best reflection and get the most sunlight in your solar oven, you can use a laser pointer wherever the sun is angled at to make sure that you get the most sunlight on your s'more.

Once you figure that out, you can then put your dowel or ruler or stick or whatever you have, to then keep it angled and get the most sunlight.

Thanks for joining us at camp.

I hope you guys had a great time.

>>Thanks.

>>Now let'st rate up and do some kickboxing with Priscilla.

>>Hi, I'm back, Priscilla, Valley Youth House, Camp Valor, Day 4.

We're working hard, we're getting it done, OK?

Don't forget to check the Website to see the other like we always do.

workouts you might have missed.t Remember to always warm up your body before you do any type of exercise, that will help prevent injury.

Your jabs are towards your camera or your computer or whatever.

It's like bending your elbow, and then your uppercuts, going for the opponent's chin.

Body shots are a little lower.

Back to your bob and weave.

So this one, we're actually going to face front.

We're not going to turn our body.

And you're gonna either march in place, level one, march in place, level two, you're gonna do a little what we call a boxer shuffle.

So you're just shuffling your weight side to side.

But if this is too much go back to your march.

So boxer shuffle or march in place.

We're going to do speed bag?

Arms overhead.

Pretending you're punching that speed bag for eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.

Give your arms a break.

Shake them out.

Seven, six, five, four, three.

Now, same thing, but different direction.

Go backwards on the speed bag.

Four, three, two.

One.

Relax.

Eight.

Seven.

Six, five.

One more time.

Then we're going to add on.

Speed bag forward.

Eight, seven, six.

Five, four, three, two, one.

Relax.

Eight, seven, six, five, four.

Three, two, one.

Back.

Eight, seven, six.

Five, four, three, two, one.

March in place.

kick front, kick front knee comes up, kick through your heel.

So we're going to do eight speed bags, eight kicks, eight speed bag, eight kicks.

We're going in four, three, two, one.

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

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

Roll back, speed bag.

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

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

March it out.

Gonna add on one more thing.

It's gonna be a side to side squat.

Looks like this, side, big arms to side.

Side to side.

One more like this.

Put those last three moves together, really get that heart rate up.

Ready?

Here we go.

Eight, seven.

Six.

Five, four.

Three.

Two, one.

Kick.

Eight.

Seven.

Core tight.

Four.

Three, two.

Squat.

Big arms.

Seven.

You got this.

Five.

Four more.

Three, two.

We're not done.

Speed bag back.

Roll backwards.

Seven.

Six, five.

You're almost there.

Four, three, two, kick front.

Finish strong.

You can do it.

Four more.

Four, three, squats.

Big arms.

Seven.

Six.

Five, four.

Three, two and one.

I'm going to keep going until the end.

Give me eight more.

Seven, six.

Five.

Four, three, two and one.

Great job, everybody.

See you tomorrow.

>>Let's go learn something new.

>>Welcome back.

I'm Kevin from Funny Farm Aviaries.

>>And I'm Wendy from Funny Farm Aviaries, and today we're going to talk about how wax is made and how honey is made.

So this is a wax that the honey bees build and the young worker bees are assigned to this task by making the wax so that they can store the honey.

And so the queen can lay eggs and keep repopulating the hive.

Soon after the new worker bee emerges as an adult, it will begin producing wax.

And they need special wax secreting glands on their body to do this.

For each of these glands, they secrete the liquid wax, which then hardens when it hits the air.

They use their legs to force it up towards their head and then they use their mandibles to chew the wax and manipulate it so that they can form it into these beautiful hexagon shapes.

And the reason why they use those the hexagon shape is it's the most efficient way to gain the most amount of storage for what they need for their hive.

In the wax production, each bee can produce about eight scales of wax in a 12 hour period.

And they need about a thousand scales to produce one gram of wax.

That's a lot of wax that they need and they only produce a small amount in a 12 hour period.

So they're constantly working and with the amount of bees in the hive, they can produce a lot of wax.

But one bee can only produce a small amount in a 12-hour period.

So after the soft wax hardens, the worker bees use their stiff hairs on their legs to bring it up towards their mouth so that they can form it into to that hexagon shape.

>>The actual process of transforming the flower nectar into the honey requires teamwork.

Older worker bees do the foraging and bring the nectar back to the hive.

There younger hive bees complete the task of turning it into honey.

First, worker bees fly out from the hive in search of rich nectar in the flowers.

Using its straw like proboscis a worker bee drinks the liquid nectar and stores it in a special stomach called the Honey Stomach.

The bee continues to forage, visiting hundreds of flowers until tiny stomach is full.

Within the honey stomach enzymes break down the complex sugars of the nectar into simple sugars, which are less prone to crystallization.

This process is called inversion.

With a full belly the worker bee heads back to the hive and regurgitates the already modified nectar for a hive bee.

The hive bee ingests the sugar offering and further breaks down the sugars, then regurgitates the inverted nectar into a cell of the honeycomb.

Now the hive bees beat their wings, furiously, fanning the nectar to evaporate the remaining water.

As the water evaporates, the sugars thicken into honey.

Once the honey is finished, the hive bees cap the beeswax cells, sealing the honey into the honeycomb for later consumption.

>>Thanks.

That was great.

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

>>Hi, I'm Lynn with The Girl Scouts of eastern Pennsylvania.

And this week we've been talking about natural forces.

Today, we're gonna be talking about wind.

Now, sometimes natural forces can be destructive.

Wind is that way when it comes in the form of hurricanes or tornadoes or sandstorms.

Those are all very destructive.

But wind can also be a gentle breeze that cools us off on a hot summer day.

And we can use the energy in wind to make electricity for ourselves.

So just like we use the waterwheel yesterday to activate a motor to make electricity, we can do exactly the same thing with wind.

So I have here a sort of a toy kit of a little windmill and I don't have enough wind.

So I'm going to use this fan.

And what I want you to look for is there's a little red light inside this bottle.

So let's see if we can get this windmill turning.

Can you see the red light lighting up in there?

That means that we are spinning a coil of wire around a magnet to make electricity.

So that's awesome.

All right.

Now, you may not have one of these at home, but have you ever played with a pinwheel?

We're gonna make one right now, so I'm gonna use a piece of stiff paper.

Which is right now a rectangle and I need it to be a square.

into a square by foldingto tue it along the line there, there.

Now this piece, once we cut it off, it will leave us with a square.

So I'm cutting this piece off right here.

Awesome.

Now, we already have one line through.

I need to make a line that goes the other way.

That will give us our direction points.

Now I'm gonna draw a circle right around the X in the middle, a circle about an inch.

OK.

And now from each point, I'm going to cut down the line to the circle.

So here we go.

There is one.

From this point.

Right along the line.

And here comes the last one.

Now.

Perfect.

So it's a little floppy right now, a little bit of tape will help with the next step, getting a little tape.

I'm going to take one of the tips down to the center.

Just gonna tape it in place to keep it there.

Going to do that all the way around.

You can overlap those tips a little bit.

Just like this one more time.

Perfect.

There is our classic pinwheel shape.

Now I just need a pin right through.

The center, and a pencil with an eraser so I can push that pin right in there.

And let's try our fan one more time.

See if this pinwheel will spin.

It does.

Right.

So that's your design challenge.

Can you make a pinwheel that will spin?

And if it's a little wobbly think about how you might solve for that.

I tried making a solid disc on the backside of this one.

Let's see if that does anything.

Oh, that's a little better, right?

OK, so that's it for today.

Thanks for joining me.

Have a good one.

Bye.

>>That was awesome.

with ArtsQuest.

>>Hi, my name's Elena.work, which is part of ArtsQuest in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

Today, I'm going to show you guys a few different basic watercolor techniques that make watercolors a little bit more fun.

The most important thing you need to do, watercolors, is obviously a watercolor palette.

But if you don't have that, you can sometimes make do with watered down food coloring, things like that.

And you can look up a bunch of different tutorials on how to make it yourself.

But for watercolors, the biggest thing you need to know if you haven't ever used them before is that in order to work, they have to be wet.

So I always like to start with the big brush and just add a couple drops of water to all of my colors.

That way they're all gonna be ready to go when I start painting.

There are a few different brushes you can use.

A small brush is usually what's going to come And this is great for things like dry brushing, which is when you take a dry brush into your paint and you just kind of scraping around and dry brushing, it might be good for grass or something.

I'm looking at this texture and it's kind of scratchy when you first start putting your paint down.

It might not be because obviously you just add water to it.

But the more I dry brush, the scratchier it gets.

So that's one technique you can use.

My other favorite techniques then is something called wet on wet.

And for this technique, you're going to use a lot of water.

And I'm using my big brush directly into the water.

And I'm going to try to cover as much space as possible just with this clear water.

No paint in it yet.

And I want to make sure it stays kind of damp.

I like to use the wet on wet technique for skies, maybe water.

So I might have to do kind of two rounds of this before I actually get it all covered.

So my paper is fairly wet.

And what I'm going to do now is dip my brush into some paper, it's going to startI dt to spread out.

This is another cool technique if you want to do something like fireworks.

But, yeah, you can see it's not quite so wet in parts of my paper now.

So I'm going to add a little bit more water so that it'll really start to spread out.

And it'll kind of mix together If you use multiple colors, which can always be very nice.

So I think I'm going to use this technique to make a kind of very bright blue sky today.

So my sky is pretty much done.

Now I'm thinking I personally, I love swimming.

I love going in the water.

So I'm thinking my picture will actually be sort of a lake or some sort of landscape picture.

And I'm just going to go over my dry brushing example.

I'm not too worried about it.

So I'm making kind of a water scene here.

I know it's a lot of blue.

But one thing that I like to show with water colors is you can actually use salt on them.

So I'm going to pour a bunch of salt here.

And if you've ever used salt on, say, your sidewalks in the winter, you may have an idea of what's going to happen.

It'll actually absorb a bunch of the color as it dries and it'll create kind of a bubble effect.

So I really like to use that if I'm doing something with water, because it'll make the bubbles that you expect to see in a lake or in an ocean or anything like that.

So I'm going to try to fill in maybe I'll try to turn this into a quick landscape like I was talking about like a lake or something.

Put in some nice trees on the side.

Very quickly, add a little bit to the side here.

So my salt is still kind of drying a little bit, but you can already see the effect that it has going on.

I can already tell that when I pick up my paper, it's going to drip everywhere, so I'll let it drip that way first.

Not to So I'm going to call this project done enough for now.

You can see that there's a different texture down below where we have our salt.

It's kind of absorbed some of the water.

Made it a little bit scratchier here, but those are a few basic watercolor techniques.

And if you tune back in tomorrow, I'll show you another project using paint.

>>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.
