STEM FUNdamentals

During these camp days, we’ll explore how animals, including humans, harness the wind! With materials from the Vermont Energy Education Program, campers will build, share, and redesign models to understand how we can effectively use wind with pinwheels, sailboats, and wind turbines. During our experiments and excursions we’ll practice observing, teambuilding, reflecting, and playing to make lasting memories enjoying the splendors of nature.
