Today was the last of 17 days of Summer Odyssey Camps at The Imagination Lab. Over 700 Plainfield students attended a day-long camp in one of six themes: Stop Motion Animation, Investigating Flight, Is it a Robot?, Weather and the Green Screen, Video Game Design, and 3D Printing.
During the midday break, students rotated through three stations: lunch (served by the PCSC Summer lunch program), recess, and a garden activity.
A big thank you to the 42 middle and high school students who volunteered a total of over 1000 hours to help make these camps a success.
And thanks to a generous donation from the Duke Energy Foundation, each camper received a book related to their camp theme.
