The first Bell Museum Summer Camp at the SROC was a success! Huge thank you to SROC staff, Charlie Rohwer, Horticulture, and Andrew Plumski, Dairy Calf Unit, for taking time out of the three days to show the kids a little of what we do here and getting in on some of the activities, and Megan Raschka, Ashley O"Neill Prado, and Jennifer Behm with the Bell Museum for coordinating everything and giving these kids an experience they'll never forget! We are already in talks for next year's camp!
