Mythical Week Begins!

The imagination and creativity continues this week as we travel into the world of myths, magic, and fantasy!  There were dragons and unicorns, magic wands and fairy dust, and even wizard hats.  The variety of creations was amazing and seeing the magic wands really work was fantastic.  Counselors were being turned into frogs and cows, they were being frozen and unfrozen, and the look of wonder from our magical campers was awesome.

Our mini-sessions today included some Taekwondo, archery (like Robin Hood), dancing like the genie from Aladdin, and story telling about unicorns and magic.  We even had a fun game of Quidditch on the field.

Tomorrow the magic continues!  Please remember to send in the permission slip for Thursday’s trip to the zoo.  Also, as the weather warms up, please remember to send in water bottles.  We can refill them during the day.

Wonderfully Wet and Wild Finish to Wacky Week!

2015 Camp Sunshine Group Bus Routes
What an amazing way to end a fabulously wacky and exciting week at camp!  We started the morning with a special visit from Mike, the Bubble Man!  He helped us learn and have fun at the same time.  We learned about how bubbles are made, why they pop, and what shapes they can be.  Campers were sticking arms through the bubbles without popping them, catching bubbles in their bare hands, and even getting to stand inside a bubble!  Such an awesome experience for everyone.  At the end of the presentation, we took off for the pool and it was a beautiful day for a refreshing dip in the pool!

Next week’s theme is Mythical Week, continuing the imagination and creativity!

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!
