Today campers took advantage of the rain and visited the Bauer Theatre 🎭️

They improvised a few scenes onstage, caught up with Festival Antigonish’s upcoming summer season, stopped by the green room for a few refreshments, and bought tickets for an upcoming play 🍿 🎟️

This week, the campers were invited by the Biology department to visit some friends in J. Bruce Brown Hall!

The plants visited the Aquatics Room, met their ancient ancestor the green algae, and learned about the exciting research that takes place within the building!

This week, the campers spent an afternoon cozying up in a fireside reading session.
They roasted marshmallows and read from the Angus L. Macdonald Library's Biology section (located on the 4th floor of the Library).

They were also introduced to their camp counsellor, Angus.
