Abstract	Summer brings to mind the joys of vacation and spending time outdoors. The author looks forward to the summer months, particularly June--that's when they hold Junior Naturalist Camp at the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Coral Gables, Florida. While she enjoys each day of camp, one in particular really brings out her inner student--Solar Energy Day. The Sun is a universal object with endless possibilities for exploration, and on Solar Energy Day, students learn more about it through books, crafts, and investigations. Even though they're located in sunny South Florida, the activities they use can be implemented across the globe and with students of all ages. This article describes the solar activities they use in more detail and provides a model for teachers who wish to replicate these activities in their classrooms.
