Field Trip Fun – Science Exploration

It was a wonderful day at the museums today. Red, Orange, and Yellow groups had fun with all of the hands-on activities to try at the Children’s Museum. They tried music, built towers, played with bubbles, and splashed around in the water room. At the Science Museum, Green, Blue, and Purple groups had the chance to learn about the science behind the Disney Pixar movies. It is amazing the work that is needed just to give a character curly hair!!

Tomorrow, we head to the pool! Please remember swim gear, swimsuits, sunscreen, towel, snack, and drink!

Wacky Wednesday!!

It has been a wild and wacky week here at camp.  Campers have turned into brilliant scientists planting seeds, mixing colors, building roller coasters, and trying out creations with an egg drop project.  We also launched a diet coke and mentos rocket on the field before heading to mini-sessions where we learned about Taekwondo, Dance, Music, Transformers, Football, Rocks and Abstract Color.

Tomorrow we head to the museums and we cannot wait!  Please remember red camp tshirts and sneakers!  Also, tomorrow is an extended day with an expected return time of 2pm.  Please pack snack, drink, and lunch!

Imaginations Run Wild!

What a wonderfully wacky start to Wacky Week!  Groups were busy trying some experiments, making scientific discoveries, designing silly masks, and more.  Some groups played Ice Age tag with wooly mammoths and other animals getting “frozen in ice.”  Other groups worked together to answer science trivia questions!  There were scavenger hunts and nature walks and we weren’t even bothered by a bit of rain early in our day. Tomorrow the adventures continue!

Please print, sign and return the permission slip for this week’s field trips. Please note that our return time is later than a normal camp day!

Group 1 is off to the Children’s Museum in Boston
Group 2 is heading to the Science Museum.

Also, we want to extend a big thank you to the many families who donated supplies from our wish list.  Every generous gift is greatly appreciated!
