At the end of 10 sessions a camper can take an oral quiz on  the classes they attended. Upon passing this comprehensive review,  giving a report at the camp, and showing us a well kept Journal, the title “ACORN” will be awarded. This honor and prestige allows them to  come to the next set of sessions as Junior Counselors plus earn a free Camp Tonkawa T-shirt. This can easily be incorporated into your Earth Science Curriculum, especially for all you Homeschoolers. This is  geared for an enthusiastic, nature-loving camper 10 years old or older.
