<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">~Fuel for Fun~</span></h1>
Two weeks down and six more to go! This week at Future Stars our main focus was on learning about nutrition and eating healthy! All of our activities in Art, Science, and Hollywood had to do with keeping our bodies in shape. In Art we made macaroni skeletons and made our own healthy food plates. <strong>Kenzie</strong> and <strong>Grace</strong> showed us how dedicated they were to eating healthy as they put all the food groups onto their plates. In Science we were able to make our own chocolate using chocolate chips, aluminum plates, and the sun. <strong>Isabelle </strong>devoured her chocolate and threw in a healthy banana to the mix. In Science we also learned how to read the nutrition facts on products you can buy at the store and <strong>Tyler</strong> and <strong>Jimmy</strong> worked together to decipher what meant what and what ingredients were healthy and what which ones weren't. As we move on to Hollywood, Mrs. Theresa provided us with a bundle of different games that included fruits, vegetables, and crazy songs that taught us about what foods go with what. As the kids competed to see who knew their fruits best, <strong>Emeric </strong>came out on top as he was our winner for several intense rounds. When we weren't in Art, Science, or Hollywood, we were playing in the gym and running around. <strong>Kya</strong> showed her team spirit and awesome kick during World Cup which helped her move on the one of the last rounds. In addition to playing World Cup, we also had the kids play Knock Out. During Knock Out <strong>Ryan</strong> and <strong>Morgan</strong> sunk the basketball more than once making them both forces to be reckoned with. Since this week was such a scorcher, to cool off we spent time in the computer lab. Every time we would walk into the air conditioning, <strong>Maddie</strong> and <strong>Tanner</strong> couldn't wait to just dive in and play games of their choice during our down time. Another way we were able to simmer down was during our much appreciated pool time. This week we were lucky and were able to play Water Polo both on Monday and on Wednesday. Both of those days, <strong>Hannah</strong> and <strong>Andrew</strong> dominated and proved their defensive and offensive skills. Last but certainly not least, we have <strong>Caterina</strong>, our camper of the week. This week we were understaffed and she, without complaint, stepped up to the plate and showed us she had what it takes to be a counselor. Not only was she responsible, but she also managed to have fun at the same time-- the number one rule at camp. Thank you, Caterina for helping out! We had a great week here at Future Stars and we can't wait to see all of your faces next week! <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Happy <span style="color: #000000;">Fourth of</span><span style="color: #000000;"> <span style="color: #3366ff;">July!!</span></span></span></strong>

We had a wonderful first week at camp! On Monday in Science we started a green observation journal by making the cover of our books, <strong>Caterina</strong> and her brother <strong>Andrew</strong> paid extra special attention to the details of their covers by doing leaf rubs to decorate. For sport we played the All Sports in a game of kickball where <strong>Emeric</strong> really shined, as he kicked home-run after home-run. Tuesday is Cheer Day, in Hollywood we had to come up with a cheer to show our Gator spirit! <strong>Danielle</strong> and <strong>Ella</strong> came up with and led the Gators in an amazing cheer! In Science we put our bird brains to the test in a contest to see who could build the best bird nest. <strong>Isabelle</strong> and <strong>Grace</strong> demonstrated awesome team work, building the perfect home. During game we played knock-out where<strong> Tanner</strong> and <strong>Tyler </strong>were victorious. On Wednesday in Art class we made origami frogs, <strong>Nolan </strong>used his knowledge of the craft to demonstrate to the rest of the group how to make the perfect frog. Wednesday was also Banana Day! <strong>Forrest</strong> really rocked it out showing tremendous spirit and enthusiasm during every group's banana dance.  On Thursday in Science we used recycled materials to create and decorate our own paper! <strong>Sidne</strong> showed her creative side as she added special touches to her paper. In Hollywood we did Green Earth Week inspired PSAs, <strong>Madison</strong> proved that her voice is radio worthy with a fabulous reading. Our camper of the week, is new comer, <strong>Noah</strong>! Noah demonstrated great camper behavior as he listened carefully to all instructions and was enthusiastic about all of our activities this week. Congratulations Noah! We had a wonderful week and can't wait for the rest of the summer!
