Summer Camp 2012

We ran a two-week summer camp in August 2012 for 7 kids from the Buckman SUN School. The kids were going into 4th-6th grade and completed a modified version of the Build Program. They also participated in painting a mural and embellishing it with used parts from around the building. The following is a collection of notes about how the camp went.
