Wild Weather
Terrifying Twisters + Hurricanes
Hold onto your hats! Powerful storms have made their way to Camp Kinda... by which we mean tornadoes and hurricanes. These are both stormy atmospheric systems, but with different effects: Hurricanes can produce enough energy to power all the lights in New York City for years to come, while tornadoes can rip all the feathers off a chicken in mere seconds. In this adventure, we'll explore how water and wind combine to create these powerful forces of nature.
what you’ll need
- Your Camp Kinda toolkit
- A large container
- Bottle of water
- Food coloring (preferably blue)
- Glitter (optional)
