MONDAY started off a very exciting Session 3 with lots of new activities! Our Wizards, Flying Monkeys, Scarecrows, and Tin Men learned new moves in Ribbon Twirling, while the campers in Stunts class learned how to create the illusion of super strength!
In Theater, campers continue to work on their storytelling skills, experimenting with different styles, genres, focuses, energies, and subjects — great skills for any young actor or budding comedian to possess!
Potato Tostadas are on the menu in Cooking Class this week and campers are learning how to prepare and devour these tasty vegetarian treats.
TUESDAY was Funny Face Day – campers and counselors had a “face off” with the wackiest face decorations while they worked on building block games and created Australian Aboriginal drawings in Art.
On WEDNESDAY, campers continued their Gymnastics skills with the Balance Beam, Mat, and cooperative games, as well as learning songs and steps from around the world in Music and Dance classes (in honor of our Friday FunDay theme!).
Of course, lots of fun continued during Swim, with a special popsicle treat afterwards to relax. In Art class, campers used coffee grinds and the juice from flowers to create unique drawings on WEDNESDAY, and used our Earth Day theme on THURSDAY to make beautiful paper mache globes with gifts from mother nature (leaves, sticks, flowers) that our camper artists collected.
Friday FunDay was Planet Earth Day, so our campers had the whole world in their hands (with the help of our very cool and entertaining “Around the World” lesson). Costumes included different species, cultures, continents, and other gifts from mother nature… it was a sight to be seen!
In Art class, campers learned about artist Andy Goldsworthy and made their own pieces made from nature’s gifts — sticks, egg shells, flowers, shells, rocks, and more…
And following a new meeting with the “Green Thumb Club” campers talked about their gardening knowledge while relaxing with a Friday FunDay favorite — a delicious ice cream cone.
