Summer Camp Weeks

Yara und Ferdinand nehmen gerade an einem Summer Camp teil.
Die Woche ist voll gepackt mit Aktivitäten.

Die letzte Woche hatten sie als Thema Olympia. Das führte dazu, dass sie viele Aktiviäten, trotz der großen Hitze hatten. Unter anderem Stafettenlauf (relay races), Kordel nähen (gimp sewing), Spielplatz Zeit (playground time) und Raketen (rockets) basteln.  Um am Freitag Vormittag am Olympia Contest teilzunehmen wurden die Kinder mit verschiedenen Farben angezogen. Ferdinand war im roten und Yara im grünen Team.  Die Campers nahmen an einem Wasserlauf (water relays), Eierlauf (ball on the spoon relay) und Wassermelonen Wettessen (watermelon eating contest) teil.
Das rote Team war die unangefochtenen Gewinner in diesem Jahr.(  The red team reigned victorious this year, but all teams participated enthusiastically and demonstrated good sportsmanship.)

Diese Woche ist Entdecker Woche.  Campers are asked to come dressed as their favorite hero on Wednesday. ( I told them a hero doesn't have to be famous!)  Friday will showcase a visit from the Franklin Institute.  It's going to be a great week!

The C1 Finders had a terrific, fun filled week.  Campers enjoyed lots of running games in Landsports; one of the favorites--Frogs and Flies!  In Toys, the children are finishing up their bear pillows and will be bringing them home soon.  There are some very creative bears too!  In addition, we added Fine Art, to our repertoire where many masterpieces were created.

The theme this week being "Heroes" brought many super heroes in on Wednesday--we all felt very well protected!  Also this week, we enjoyed a wonderful presentation by the Franklin Institute on Flight.  Campers loved all of the demonstrations, the culminating one of which was a rocket launch!

 Week six was a ton of fun for everyone!  We began the week examining shells, investigating the different fish tanks in the nature room and watching a video on coral.  Campers enjoyed getting up close and personal with all of the fish and the HUGE turtle!

Once again, the C1-nders engaged in a spirited game of old school dodgeball where we saw great examples of good sportsmanship--awesome!  Land Sports brought out the big parachute and the group loved running underneath it.

Indoor activities included the conclusion of the bear pillow project, a High School Musical singalong and model magic sculpting in crafts.  The camp show, an original story written by our drama counselors was fantastic!  We all thoroughly enjoyed it.

While we are sad to be saying goodbye to a handful of our new summer friends this week.
