The adults in the field

Jeric started Ripstop to take the science kids do in a classroom out into the weather. He runs the camp, answers the phone, leads the soil and build weeks and reads the sky with the campers each morning.

Emoni leads the creek and prairie weeks. She carries the nets and the hand lenses, shows campers how to look before they touch, and keeps the species tally on the pavilion wall.

Bahar runs the weather and light weeks. She builds the rain gauges with each group, checks the forecast before the circle and decides, with Jeric, when the day moves inside.

Ezra helps campers turn a question into something they can test: a bridge, a ramp, a tube rocket. He asks what happened, then asks what to change, and the notebook keeps the answer.
