<h1><span style="color: #00ff00;">Safari Week!</span></h1>
This week was Safari week here at Future Stars! We had the kids delve into several different and creative activities throughout the week. On Monday we started off with some awesome karaoke where <strong>Julia</strong> sang Let it Go from Frozen and <strong>Nolan</strong> sang Rude by MAGIC!. Another thing that Hollywood provided the group this week was a Learn, Listen, and Play where the kids were able to play with a parachute and learn different rhythms. <strong>Ashleigh</strong> and <strong>Julian</strong> in particular really enjoyed moving to the beat and letting go. As we move on from Hollywood, this week we were able to play several different sports. On Wednesday, we played World Cup and <strong>Sophia</strong> and <strong>Ana</strong>, the dynamic duo, kicked butt as they represented Germany. <strong>Quinn </strong>and <strong>Ava</strong> always enjoyed the chance to cool off after sport with a bunch of awesome jumps into the pool. In Science this week the kids were able to learn about the life cycle of several different insects. <strong>Elly</strong>,<strong> Logan</strong>, and <strong>Leah </strong>were able to draw the different stages of a grasshopper, fly, and ant beautifully. As we move along, in art this week the kids were able to make fierce lion masks. <strong>Sienna</strong> and <strong>Lukas</strong> both used oil pastels to illustrate the intimate details that comes with a lions face. Also in art, when everyone finished their lion masks, Lauren provided them with the opportunity to get creative with playdough. This was <strong>Eric's </strong>favorite part by far and <strong>Sarah</strong> also enjoyed the down time. Last but certainly not least, we have our Camper of the Week, <strong>Maddie</strong>! She was an awesome addition to our group as she always was willing to lend a hand and participate. She was always listening to instructions and had a consistent smile on her face from ear to ear. Thank you for such a great week and we hope to see you back next week!

Your Counselors,

The dragons had another fantastic week at camp.  Though it was a short week it was filled with many fun activities in all of our different subjects.  First in Hollywood we learned about good foods to eat and the nutrition plate. Both Elly and Leah had a lot of fun with different food oriented guessing games and learning funny camp songs.  In art we where able to create are own food plate and make human skeletons out of pasta.  Sophia and Logan made fantastic projects and had a blast the whole time.  Then in science we kept a food journal for the week to watch what we ate and to see how healthy it was.  Julia and Quinn did a wonderful job with this activity and also enjoyed when we melted chocolate by reflecting the sun. In the pool we had another great week of lessons and fun.  Hannah and Lydia really enjoyed themselves while we there and the rest of the group loved being able to cool off from the hot days.  Finally we had many fun activities when we played sport and game.  This week our sport period coincided with the Gophers which created a fun rivalry between the two groups.  In dodge ball Ava and Lukas had a blast and got both campers and councilors out.  Then in kickball Ashleigh and Ryan did great and where able to make crucial plays.  Finally after a great week we as councilors had a tough decision to make for our camper of the week.  However, in the end we decided on Ana to be our camper of the week.  She had great listening skills all week and always participated in every activity.  We look forward to seeing the campers again after the long weekend.  Happy Fourth of July!!
