Dear Parents,
We had a wonderful first day at camp this week. We did a lot of special activities. For example, we got to go out in the woods and look at different wild life with Nature. We also got to do some fun activities with Art. The kids got to make friendship bracelets, which was quite nice. We got to learn a lot about Jewish holidays in Theme Time. We also did a lot of swimming, getting to know each other, and having fun! By the way, on the first day of camp, the kids were tested on their swimming capabilities and put into certain level groups for swimming lessons. We had an awesome time playing Capture the Flag in Group time on Tuesday. In Science we also had tons of fun making parachutes for our Egg Drop on Monday.
On Wednesday, we had an amazing time on the Bouncy Bounce, there was even a Bouncy Bounce obstacle course as well. The campers and counselors were able to race each other on this course. Other things we did was in Music, when we played two songs with “boom whackers” (a type of wind instrument) which we also performed in front of the camp on Thursday. The songs we played included “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” and “Mary had a Little Lamb” in front of the whole camp!
At the end of the day on Thursday, there was a dance party for the campers. Some songs that were played at the dance party included “Cha Cha Slide,” “Macarena,” and there was even a Conga line! The campers also got to wrap their counselors with toilet paper to make them into mummies. They certainly had a great time doing this!
Next week on Tuesday is Tie Dye day, so don’t forget to have the campers dress in Tie Dye clothing! Next Wednesday, the campers will go on their first field trip of the summer. It will be a blast! Have a great Fourth of July weekend!
Sincerely your counselors,
Adriana Alfeo, Josh Leighton, Matt McCarty
