Cleared for Takeoff!

We are cleared for takeoff and away we go!  Today our travels took us to the countries of Mexico, Japan, China, and more!  It has been quite a whirlwind adventure.  In Mexico, we stopped to design and decorate a poncho.  Once that was complete, we traveled to China and learned about the Chinese Zodiac and the various animals that represent each year.  Campers designed wreaths to help them remember which animal goes with the year in which they were born.  We have horses, goats, pigs, and even monkeys here at camp!  The next stop on our journey was in Japan.  We designed special fans to help us keep cool in the sun!  Tomorrow we travel to the Ecotarium!

Reminder:  Please fill out the permission slip for tomorrow’s trip to the Ecotarium.

Bonjour! Hola! Ni hao! Hello!

This week we have become world travelers.  The passports were stamped, binoculars packed, and the travels began!  Our children toured countries such as England, France, Jamaica, and many more!  They saw the flags for each country, learned some facts about each one, and even learned some words in other languages!  In music, with Alexis, they sang in other languages and talked about foods from around the world.  After discussions about Chinese and Italian food choices, I think everyone was a little hungrier.  The adventures will continue tomorrow as we learn even more about our amazing world!

**Please remember to fill out the permission slip for our field trip to the Ecotarium on Thursday.  It is available in the post below.

Campers Take to the Stage with Puppets

The red carpet is calling for our campers to take a stroll!  What amazing performers we have here!  We have singers, dancers, musicians, artists, actors/actresses, and SO MUCH MORE!  Today we created puppets (getting ready for our fun trip tomorrow), designed dancers on their stage, and even made a HUGE mural with the sheet music for our theme song, “You are my sunshine.”  Everyone is staying cool and hydrated as Mother Nature heats up this week.  The weather may be hazy, but at camp, the sky is clear and the stars are shining!

*Reminder:  Please fill out the permission slip for tomorrow’s trip to the Puppet Theater.
