Day Five: Enrichment Day

We started the day by going inside to get out of the heat. When we got there we worked on collages and word searches. We then all did a scavenger hunt at the pet cemetery. A lot of kids were saying that they would like to be able to bring their pets there when the time comes. We then got to watch the K-9 Unit demonstrate the abilities of their dogs. Officers Wade Labrecque, Mark Redmond of South Burlington, and Jason Porter of Milton showed off the skills of their dogs, Hatchi and Kaiser.

We then went back inside and had snack. Then,we broke up into two groups. Half of us worked on making dog rope toys while the rest of us make no-bake dog treats. Then, we switched so everyone did each activity. The recipe for the no-bake dog treats is:
3/4 cups of creamy peanut butter
1 1/4 cup oats
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup water
Mix together and mold into any shape you'd like. We found it works best to freeze the extra!

We ended the day by making a paper chain of our favorite camp activities and having popsicles. Check out our paper chain in the lobby of the Humane Society next week!

Thank you for a wonderful week with your kids. We had a great time and hope that they did as well!
