Today our day started with lots of word searches, games (including sandman, chow, and alibi), accordion animals, and lots and lots of friendship bracelets.
We had snack and played games until our guest speaker arrived. Vanessa is one of the MAC (Morning Animal Care) volunteers. She comes into the shelter every morning and takes care of the cats by cleaning their condos, giving them food and water, and helping to make sure they are all happy and healthy.

When we made our way back outside, campers share their ideas about the problems with the rest of the group and then we played some animal career charades. Finally, we wrapped up our day by making some pine cone bird feeders that we will hang up tomorrow.
At the end of the day, campers were begging to play more games, and learn more about those tricky friendship bracelets.
