Stone Soup Wednesdays

Every second Wednesday of each session was Stone Soup Wednesday. Earlier in the week, the children would bring in assigned food, and on Wednesday, the children would make the soup (with heavy supervision, of course). I read the story, Lindsey, my intern, would do the butter lesson, Denise would build the fire ... and everyone would nervously help the children cut up vegetables, peel potatoes, and keep them away from the fire. The descendant of the historical house (my camp is located on the property) would come in with his wife and bake bread in the beehive oven.

So yummy.

Here are pictures from the Second Stone Soup Wednesday. It was during a hurricane, and all eighteen kids showed up. Camp is in a two-hundred year old barn ...
