Fifth Grade IL: Outdoor Adventures at College Settlement

Last night, we had a campfire with skits and songs. It felt like we were one big community and we laughed a lot. College Settlement is a place to explore stepping out of your comfort zone and have a fun time with your friends!

One highlight of our trip was the group lessons. One of the lessons was to learn about how to make a shelter in the woods, and then we got to build shelters!

Another was getting to meet the animals, indoor and outdoor animals! We learned about animal habitats and how some need to live with others. We got to hold a guinea pig. We got to go to the Campers Kitchen and make monkey bread over a fire pit and ice cream in a bag with ice and rock salt, heavy cream, milk, and vanilla extract. We also learned how to use knives to cut the dough safely. We visited the organic farm. We got to try spinach and veggies right from the ground. We went into a hoop house that was growing carrots and cabbage.
