Cost: FREE
Click here to register on the ReVision Energy website.


Today, Sunsquatch will be showing us how to capture the sun’s energy for use in electricity and heating. We’ll explain how solar panels work and then make our own Solar-Heated Ovens. The Solar Ovens demonstrate how you can use a few simple tools to pull the heat in from solar light and use it to cook nachos or s’mores.

**For this activity everyone will need a few materials: a cardboard box (pizza box, cereal box, or shoe box are ideal), clear plastic wrap, tape, scissors, black paper (black cloth or plastic can be substituted), and a meltable food like chocolate or cheese.

Registration required; participation details will be sent out via email before each session. This camp is free of charge and open to all children. All Sessions will feature outdoor time so please test your internet or phone connection while outside!
