Leah Gutzwiller, an incoming senior at Mount Notre Dame Academy, spent several weeks this summer at Given Day Camp creating a "bottle rocket" project for camp participants. Each group decorated their water bottle to serve as their spaceship and then Leah helped them launch it using the water pressure built up from a bicycle pump. Some rockets went as high as the tops of the trees on campus! Leah, who organized the bottle rocket project as her senior Capstone Project, shared her experience this way: “If you are looking for a place to volunteer, 100% do it at Stepping Stones. It’s an amazing experience and such a wonderful place to be. The campers are amazing, and the staff are excellent. Each day provides a sense of accomplishment and pride that you have made a difference in a camper’s life. Whether it is offering a high-five, helping someone with coloring, playing music with a camper, or even launching a rocket, you will have a ton of fun helping campers have a great day!”
