Who knew a summer camp called Grossology
could be so disgustingly fun?
The kids did!!
And gross fun we had as we read books, wrote stories, learned about how our bodies work, created gross things in the Maker Space, cooked and baked (and ate!) interesting concoctions, played toilet tag, engineered slime tubes, watched gross animal videos, ate blood, performed lab tests, had burping contests and more, all in the name of grossness.
