The Barn at Spring Brook Farm

Even though our week was shortened by extreme heat 🥵, we still found creative ways to cool down and have a fantastic Week 3 of Camp!
We celebrated our theme Helping Hands and Growing Plans by:
🌱getting our hands dirty gardening and planting in our outdoor learning center garden spaces
🎭engaging in dramatic play through community role playing stations
🏃‍➡️running through an obstacle course set up by our Fieldwork Students from Jefferson University
🥰 lending helping hands to both our animal and counselor friends
💦LOTS of water play together
🐴 and as always, partaking in traditional favorites that we were still able to squeeze in this week!
✨Thank you to all of our counselors, volunteers, fieldwork students from Jefferson, and of course our Campers for a wonderful Week 3!

A big THANK YOU to Scott Scott Pruden who was our first Community Table guest of the 2026 Camp Geronimo season! ☀️
He shared his knowledge and experience of being an author and writer, and made quite the impression on one of last week’s campers whose creative imagination propels her own writing ambitions 📝😄

Community Table will continue to be held each week of Camp, featuring a different professional member who will share their unique experiences with our campers!

What a great start to Camp Geronimo Summer 2026! 👉 Swipe to the last video to see what type of mood it put us in 🤭🌞
