This year’s MSLF Summer Camp will feature a different continent each week; the schedule follows below. Along with exposure to each continent’s history, culture and traditions, campers will have opportunities to swim twice a week with Michael Shanahan, the new swim instructor, cook once a week with Julia Lunn, visit the local Farmers’ Markets, and take trips to the Lake Bluff Library and Lake Forest Beach.
The Elementary Camp activities will be nature-based, academic, customized to the campers’ interest levels, student-driven, and will place an emphasis on team-building. Opportunities may include working with tools to learn some basic woodworking skills and gardening; exploring outdoor environments both at MSLF and area forest preserves; bringing back samples from their explorations to study under a microscope; and studying various cultures. Plans include hosting Pioneer Week, where students will learn to cook outdoors using Dutch ovens, play colonial games, and experience an Oregon Trail simulation. An Overnight Camp-Out on the MSLF property may be offered once per session.
