Posted on by Colleen Levine

In this month’s issue of Lab Notes:

  • Summer Camp Fun: Campers and counselors are having a blast during Summer Camp 2026! Everyone is enjoying and exploring the natural wonders of our 313 acres.
  • Alice K., a rising 8th grader at Dorothy Hamm, especially enjoyed the Animal Lab where so got to watch the snakes and turtles – like Munch the giant snapping turtle and Dash the pine snake. When asked what makes camp so great, Alice responded “meet new people, have new experiences and do fun activities and I don’t know what to say other than I’m going next year!”
