As we began our week of Water Adventures, everyone enjoyed a nice sunny morning while doing the activities their counselors planned for them! We started off the morning talking about the weekend and singing songs, leading us to go on to learn all about the different things water has to offer! Luckily our morning was dry, but the water adventures continued on the way home with the rain.

There was a lot of smiles and laughs on the waterslide and the sandbox, as well as while playing water relays to cool off!

Arts and crafts were filled with stations of hair gel aquariums, tin foil creatures, and paper plate sea creatures!

Many of the green group members read stories to the younger groups during snack time, which was enjoyable for all!
