It was another beautiful day for the Sunshine Group as we continued our week making friends and learning to work as a team. There were giggles, smiles, high fives, and cheers as everyone was excited to start the day and find out what activities their counselors had planned.

The discoveries and excitement continue tomorrow!

Permission Slip

Please remember to send in this permission slip for our trip to the Museum of Science.  Also, it is important to remember that everyone needs their blue and yellow camp t-shirt and sneakers for field trip days!

Our first trip to the pool was wetter than normal as the rain decided to arrive right as the first toes were dipping into the water. Everyone made the best of the experience and had a blast. We had plenty of fish in the water and some inventive uses of towels to shelter ourselves from the rain once out of the pool. The weather may not have been ideal, but friendships continued to form and there were lots of smiles to be found!

Next week, our theme is “Science and Engineering” and there will be lots of fun projects, activities, games, and more planned. It should be an amazing week of discovery and exploration!

Attention Parents!

1. If you are picking up your child(ren) from camp, be aware that if you park down by our tent, you may end up blocked in by the buses and you will need to be patient while we load them.
2. If you have a family picture that you would be willing to send to us, we would like to create a picture community board to help us get to know everyone better.
3. Tomorrow, we are hoping to go to the pool to swim (weather permitting), so please be sure to send your child(ren) dressed for the pool (if possible) and with any accessories necessary.
