For our last Wednesday for this year’s summer at Camp Adobe, the Peña Adobe Historical Society volunteers welcomed 42 campers and our guests were Cal Fire, the Solano County Sheriff’s K9 team, Fish and Wildlife Biologist Cliff Feldheim, and from UC Davis, Geoffrey M. Attardo, Associate Professor of the Department of Entomology.
Jason Clay, PIO, Fire Apparatus Engineer Nicholas Wong, firefighters Austin, Joe and Jacob from Cal Fire Gordon Valley Fire Station #38 brought a fire engine #1485 to show campers! The kiddies learned about fire safety, and the equipment firefighters used including the water hose! Each camper received a red fire hat, coloring book and stickers!
Location:
The park is located in Vacaville’s rural southwest section at 4966 Peña Adobe Road, just off of Interstate 80, adjacent to Lagoon Valley Park.

Solano County Sheriff’s K9 team members Danny Schilling and “Duke” and Mike Ferrando and “Ty” also stopped by! Campers watched as Ty located a key chain one of the campers hid in the bushes and everyone had an opportunity to pet Duke and learn the important work they do!
Next the kiddies listened to “Professor Geoff” talk about insects! He brought four Kid’s Premium Portable LCD Color Digital Microscopes for the campers to view snails, mosquitos, beatles and a spider a camper found! We finished the day with campers enjoying the hands-on opportunity to learn about animals many had never seen up close from Cliff Feldheim, Director of the Sacramento Audubon Society. Cliff’s display included bird skulls, feathers (and even a few eggs!), and antlers and horns from a variety of animals!
By 12:00 it was time to say goodbye to another fun year at Camp Adobe!
