New Friendships Made!

Build-A-Bear Workshop was an absolute blast and a great success.  The children had a wonderful time making the choice of what their new friend would look like, stuffing it, and becoming its protector.  They were able to choose an accessory for their new friend and got a fun backpack (red to match our camp shirts) to carry their new friend!

Tomorrow we head to the pool for swimming!  Please send children in swimwear, if possible.

Next week’s theme is Wacky Week and it should be full of wonderful, creative ideas!

No Rain for Day 2!

We were a little worried early that the weather might not cooperate for us today, but the rain held off and we had another fantastic day!  Campers are making great connections with their new friends, learning names, and getting to know each other.

Today, we had many fun activities going on including yarn dolls, flags about our favorite things, a human roller coaster, and a team water relay game.  Our friendship tree that was started yesterday continues to grow and sprout new leaves!  We are all very excited for our field trip tomorrow!

Please remember: red camp shirt, sneakers, snack, drink, and permission slip!

A Great Start for Camp Sunshine Group 2015!

Day one at camp sunshine was a HUGE success!  Everyone was introduced to their counselors and had a chance to get used to the routine of the morning (backpacks in the bins, circle time, activities, reading/snack, more activities, circle).

There were many opportunities to make new friends and connect with some familiar faces as well!  Groups have been busy creating a friendship tree, making friendship bracelets, playing blob tag, and trying some “get to know you” games.  All in all it has been a fun-filled morning and we are off to a great start!

Permission Slip Required for Thursday’s Field Trip

On Thursday, we will head to Build-A-Bear Workshop for our first field trip.  Please return a signed copy of the permission slip tomorrow:
