Fall 2020
Three different day camps were sponsored by the Marble Falls School District to all MFISD students for FREE on days that there was no school due to teacher in-service or certain holidays.

Our activity content centered around imaginative play and exploration with fun activities like building forts, etching wood with a magnifying glass and the sun, rock stacking and painting, homemade toy building, canoeing, & archery.

There is so much to discover about ourselves and each other when we get to spend time getting out of our comfort zones and building relationships.

We made observation journals for written and illustrated descriptions of our surroundings, hiked and challenged our senses, bird-watched, built reading forts, and crafted our way through the day. This group of explorers were anywhere from 3-12 years old and were insightful, observant, and so creative!
