In this episode from July 23, 2026, we are joined by our youngest daughter, Rachel, to reflect on the past summer as well as the past few years that have taken all of us from Oklahoma City to North Carolina, Virginia, and Colorado. Lots of background noise, but that’s because we recorded this thing at a wonderful Manitou Springs motel! Shelly shared about her experiences at Wild Heart Teacher Retreat #36 this summer in Divide, Colorado. We also talked about our “Space Education Camp” for teachers in Stilwell, Oklahoma. Links to these events and resources are included in our show notes and description below.

On May 16, 2026, Wes and Shelly Fryer discuss why they run summer STEM camps and what they’re offering in summer 2026, noting they’re teaching 16 half-day camps (Shelly 9, Wes 7). They emphasize camps as passion projects and a “sandbox” for learning through play, curiosity, wonder, and computational thinking, with structure, community-building, partner work, and parent communication. They share reflections from past camps (including COVID-era online Minecraft camps) and lessons learned at Providence Day’s extensive summer program, including the importance of streamlined logins and student helpers. They point listeners to camps.shellyfryer.com for updated enrollment, astrokidsclub.org for Minecraft content, and mention sites like classroom.shellyfryer.com. Shelly outlines LEGO, rocket/design, Artemis innovation, and a new “Super Sleuths” forensics/breakout camp; Wes previews animal websites, space-themed Minecraft coding, wizarding builds, mini-game coding, and game coding with AI, plus upcoming STEM PD in July with Cherokee immersion teachers in Oklahoma.

Wes and Shelly record outside on a warm April evening in Matthews, North Carolina, reflecting on spring break 2026 and how life feels nearly four years after their move from Oklahoma City. They describe a two-day drive to Kansas to visit Wildcat, including an award-winning multi-course meal at the Freight House in Paducah, Kentucky, and arriving to a sudden blizzard and 13-degree weather. They spent time organizing Wildcat’s apartment, then Shelly flew from Kansas City to Amarillo for her Aunt Kay’s memorial. Wes recounts a stressful oil leak from a recent oil change, a major I-70 crash, and multiple airport pickups as Sarah, Rachel, and Shelly arrived, leading to a relaxed week at home together. They share updates on work, church and community connections, Wes’s teaching and activism, excitement about the Artemis crewed mission, and summer plans including camps, family trips, and potential mountain travel.
