Yesterday’s field trip was a huge success.  Everyone had tons of fun and got lots of exercise!

Today, we unfortunately were not able to go to the pool due to the weather.  However, as usual, we were able to make the most of a wet day.  We had a great presentation by Matt about international food, kids talked about healthy foods and some made food journals to keep track of the choices they are making about food.

Next week is the last week (it is amazing how quickly the time flies).  Our theme next week is Friendship.  We will end the week with our annual carnival!

There is an order form available on the website for anyone interested in purchasing a DVD slideshow which will bring together all of the memories we have made this summer!

These were the highlights for today as many stars got to shine as many talents were shared and knowledge was gained! Zach and Matt shared their knowledge and interest in BMX and mountain bikes. Hannah and Sid explained the value of running track and kids even got to try some relays. Joe shared his love of hiking including bringing in his one man tent and special equipment. Nick did a special presentation for group two which involved the opportunity to try using a bow and arrow. Anna, Shannon, and Emily shared their dancing talent today and did a wonderful job. Danny, Rachel, Dave, and Barrett showcased years of practice in a variety of styles of martial arts. Grace, Jess, Bridget, and Shannon demonstrated some basic volleyball skills and then everyone had the chance to get try playing on a real volleyball net. All in all, it was a very fun and super busy day!

Tomorrow is our field trip. SOCKS MUST BE WORN! Camp tshirt and sneakers should be worn as well. Remember snack and lunch. We will return to camp around 1:30.

Today was a busy and active day at camp as we learned all about how to stay healthy. Campers learned about the food pyramid and then decided on healthy choices for their plates. We had some great presentations today as well.

Steve, an EMT/firefighter, came and talked about fire safety and let the kids try on some of the firefighter equipment. Jerry and Nick talked about football. They showed us the pads they need to wear and demonstrated some of the moves for their positions. Emily, Kelsey, and Amanda taught us about field hockey and showed some of the equipment. This was a first time experience for many!

This week’s field trip is to One Stop Fun, which is an indoor playground. Please make sure to sign and bring in the waiver form as well as the permission slip.

It is hard to believe that next week is our last week. The last day of camp will be a special carnival. There will also be a slides how presentation showing on that day. You can purchase the sideshow on the last day, or you can pre-order a copy of the DVD with this order form.
