Wednesday Fun Night at Redesigning the Future Environmental Summit

By -
After a long day of seminars, group sessions, and geocaching, the campers get some relaxing fun time. Campers and counselors enjoy snow cones, music, ultimate Jenga, tie dye and watched hit Disney movie Frozen. 
       

Counselor Theo Shepard is extremely worried about this giant tower falling on him as it's his turn to pull a piece out. The air got tense as campers watched pieces stack on this tower, waiting for someone to mess up.                                                                                                                                                         

          Campers sit in the dark and eat popcorn as they watch Disney movie Frozen. Sofas and lounge chairs made the experience fun and comfy. It was like being in a movie theater with just a couple of people napping away.                                                                                            

              Campers designing their own custom tie-dye shirts with many colors. Table cloths definitely contained the messiness of dye.
     
                   
 
 Save the tower!!!!!!!!

Counselor Payden Mitchell serves up those snow cones with a side of smile. They should change it from snow cones to shaved ice cones, but they were still good overall.

Everyone had fun that night even though we didn't get to go to the observatory due to the weather, but the movie made up for it.

John and the field team collecting fish as part of a water quality research project in Bolivia A couple of years ago, Cathy Green and Dr. John Wear, the Center for the Environment’s director of operations and executive director, respectively, decided to go to a café in Durham, NC, after a long day of interviews. They were sipping on coffee when a familiar face approached them to say hello: Summit alumnus and then-Duke University student John Hare-Grogg .  John attended the National Environmental Summit in 2011, its first year, at a time when he still wasn’t sure where he saw his career going. However, he knew he was passionate about environmental issues, so upon learning about this opportunity in his home state of North Carolina, he included it in his summer plans. “I wasn’t totally sure what to expect,” he says. “It seemed like a great opportunity to go to Salisbury and learn about environmental issues and environmental leadership strategies for a few days. As it turned

Meet Our Energetic and Hard-Working Counselors 2015 Meet our counselors for 2015. Camp couldn't run without these high energy college students who live and breathe camp for a week every summer. From setting up events to late night dorm checks and cleaning up messes to coming up with fun ideas, these young people deserve a high five. Counselors this year include Payden Mitchell, Ashley Everidge, Mary Scott Norris, Brinsley Stewart (head counselor), Seth Stephens, Deep Dave, Hannah Davis, and Forest Fugate.

You Will Never Guess What We Are Getting Ready To Do Dr. Jay Bolin and His Invasive Plants and Animals Focus Group Eating Kudzu By Rafaello I went to a unique Discovery Group on Tuesday. It combined poison ivy and deep-frying. (No, we didn't deep-fry the ivy). The discovery session was called "Invasive Species and Biodiversity: Eating the Plant that ate the South!" and was taught by Dr. Jay Bolin, a biology professor here at Catawba College. Dr. Bolin started out the session by talking about specific invasive species , what they are, and how they work. He then told us we were going to go pick some kudzu . After walking for about 15 minutes (of which the last 5 minutes was through a lot of poison ivy), we got to the kudzu. Kudzu is a nasty plant. It is a vine that grows extremely fast, and basically on anything. I saw some kudzu climbing up trees basically everywhere. We picked kudzu (while avoiding the poison ivy that was also everywhere).
