Campers soak up some sun and experiment with solar energy on Day 4 of the Summer Academy.

Still buzzing about yesterday’s trip to Disneyland, students returned to building rockets, robots and racers. Campers powered handmade racecars using solar lamps in their alternative energy class. Other students were perfecting their stroke and soaking up rays in the summer sun. Later tonight, they’ll get to gather ’round the campfire for s’more fun!

Check out the top photos from Day 4:

Campers step up to the putting green and learn how to hold their clubs. “The two main keys are line and speed!”
