Happy First Week of Camp! We had an awesome first week together in the Dragon Group. We started Dr. Suess Week off right, by learning from the Lorax just how important keeping our environment clean is in Science. As a group we took a stroll around campus observing the trees and various other plants. The kids were asked to draw a picture of their favorite plant. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Ryan Veverka</strong> </span>demonstrated his artistic side sketching a very realistic picture of his favorite plant, yellow flowers. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Connor</strong> </span>shared with us his knowledge on why protecting the enviornment is important impressing us all. He even quoted the Lorax from memory! In Art we decorated our Dragon poster, to show the whole camp our Dragon pride! <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Ryan Mcgrath</strong> </span>added an extra special touch making sure the poster represented the whole group, boys and girls. In Hollywood we got to know each other with a name game! <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Ben</strong> </span>loved sharing about himself and his family. Tuesday was Cheer Day! In Art class, keeping with our Dr. Suess theme we made "Cat in the Hat" inspired hats. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Hannah</strong> </span>and <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Catie </strong></span>paid extra special attention, designing her hat after the real Cat's hat.

At the pool we practiced floating and the free style stroke. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Stephanie</strong> </span>demonstrated how the stroke was done. For sport we played a game of basketball. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Tommy R.</strong></span> and <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Tommy E.</strong></span> were our top scorers, they may have a future in the NBA. On Wednesday in Art class we used our handprints to create pictures of the famous Dr. Suess characters "Thing One and Thing Two" <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Sarah, Kathryn, <span style="color: #888888;">and</span></strong></span> <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Gianna</strong> </span>had a lot of fun decorating their "Things".  In Science we had a visit from the Bug Man, we took a walk around the pond to see how many bugs we could find. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Marlena</strong> </span>caught a beautiful butterfly! For Sport we played a great game of dodgeball, <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Dylan</strong> </span>showed his skill, dodging and diving. Thursday was "Banana Day"! In Science we made slime, Kathryn dove into the slime, squishing and stomping! In Art we made Truffula Trees, <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Delania</strong> </span>took extra special care, making a beautiful handful of Truffula Trees.
