Day 1

After the opening ceremonies on Sunday, the campers and staff first played some games to learn each other's names.  This was followed by a group discussion to establish the camp rules and then a GPS-based scavenger hunt to become familiar with the campus.  After their first meal at the Washakie Dining Center, the campers explored the different sizes in the universe, from atoms to the entire cosmos.  The theme of our camp is "Journey to the Stars", and the last activity for the campers on Day 1 was to work on skits that explain why we may eventually need to seek out another planet and colonize it.
