HearingAssociatesofFlorence.com “ T h is was the b e s t Camp Learn-a-Lot experience of my first-grade career and one of the best ever overall learning experiences with my students,” Graham said. “Hands down, the icing on top was that after an incred- ibly challenging year doing distance learning, they got to get outside and explore things for real.” By day three, all students were able to identify 25 dif- ferent local native plants and animals. “The kids were natural- ly curious observers and so interested in learning and showing off their new knowledge. I believe that they walked away from camp with a newfound re- spect for the outdoors, and taking care of our forests and protecting native plants and animals,” Graham said. The students had their last day of school this week, so that made the camp even more special. “I am so incredibly grateful to WLCF, OFRI, WE Charity, Boy Scouts of America, as well as Stan and Ann, the Camp Baker hosts, for this unforgetta- ble opportunity,” Graham added.
