A Great Day at the Aquarium!

We had an absolute blast at the aquarium today!  We saw penguins (lots of them), sharks, fish of all kinds, turtles, and more!  A highlight for many was getting the opportunity to touch some of the creatures, especially the rays!

Many campers did a scavenger hunt trying to find a fish or some kind of animal for each letter of the alphabet!  All in all, it was a successful trip and everyone learned something new!  

Tomorrow we head to the pool!  Remember bathing suits, towels, snack, water bottle, and change of clothes!

 

Green Week Continues Despite the Rain!

We were not quite as lucky today as we were yesterday and the rain came pouring down just after camp got started!  Luckily, it was a quick and easy move to transfer camp inside.

Our crafts and some of our activities were able to come inside so it was a regular camp day and we continued to explore and learn about animals, helping the planet, and more.  Kids made their own aquarium, drew pictures of animals they hope to see at the New England Aquarium tomorrow, and more.

One of our campers, Carolyn, led a class on making dolls out of yarn and did a fantastic job! When the rain finally let up, we were able to enjoy some outdoor activities, including a fun sponge relay!

Our mini sessions were a big hit as the campers got to learn about dance, taekwondo, yoga, and archery.  Tomorrow we head to the aquarium which should be a super awesome trip. Remember camp t-shirt, sneakers, snack, lunch, and water!

Week 2 – Green Week!

Although this week is all about water, rain, how it is good for plants… we were so happy to see it stop for all of our activities!!

We made an aquarium, planted grass seed, made bird feeders with recycled items, played a recycling relay, and learned all about our precious planet.

Our mini-sessions continued with Taekwondo, dance and yoga. Thanks Danny, Anna, Shannon, and Johanna!

**TOMORROW we will walk over to Saddle Rowe Horse Farm to see the horses, learn about their care and feeding, and maybe pet a pony or two!
