Surprise Spring Time Guest

It's a turtle! (Sorry. The picture gives the surprise away immediately.)
But not just any turtle! It's a...


VERY LITTLE turtle!


How very little?

Very very little!
Here's the Camp Director's hand for comparison. 

But that doesn't quite get across...
How very very little this very very little turtle is!
Here's the Camp Director's face for a better comparison. 


Now you get it!

But just in case you don't...


Here's a very large dog for further comparison.


Except now that leads us to the part where the very large dog thinks the very very little turtle might be food. 

Putting the turtle on the table doesn't help the dog think it's not food!
C'mon now! Putting the turtle on a plate on the table DEFINITlEY doesn't help the very large dog think the very very little turtle isn't food!
Here's what we'll do. We'll move the very very little turtle off the plate, off the table, away from the dog, and away from the road and back to its natural habitat.


Another happy ending to another 4-H Camp adventure.

Spring Open House at Rutgers Gardens!

 


We've got sunshine, we've got flowers (lesser periwinkles, if my sources are correct - that's vinca minor to you), and we've got some SPRING TIME events!


On APRIL 27TH we'll have a table down on campus at Rutgers Day, so be sure to say hello!


On MAY 18TH, we're also down at Rutgers for our big 4-H Camp at Rutgers Gardens Open House!


Join to learn about the second summer of our new Day Camp program, sample some camp activities, and meet and greet the summer staff. (We'll have info sessions for overnight camp as well!) 




RSVP HERE!


Cause spring flowers means that SUMMER CAMP can't be far behind...
