Many exciting things keep the children busy for one week. Funk Lagoon, by Axtell, was a new site for SOAR this year. There, children learned about water bird identification and bird songs. Children sampled aquatic life, learning about crustaceans, fish, and turtles. Children are fascinated about the world around them.
Children are amazed there are so many tiny creatures in water.
History is also an important part of the SOAR program Children went to Fort Kearny Historical Park where they learned about the civil war and fired off both a small and large cannon. Everyone went on a hayrack ride over to the Fort Kearny Recreation Area. Afterwards, children learned fly-fishing techniques and everyone had a chance to test their skill. The program is a success and towards the end, all the children were gleaming with all the fun activities they got to do. The last activity was the best of all.
