The dragons had a great first week of camp.  Since they where one of the biggest groups in our first week they also had some of the most fun.  The camp theme for this week was green earth week and we had plenty of fun things in every subject to go along with the theme. <span style="color: #00ff00;"> Eric B.</span> had a great time making a birds nest in science along with <span style="color: #00ff00;">Sarah D. <span style="color: #000000;">Also in science we made some really cool recycled paper from old newspaper.  <span style="color: #00ff00;">Patrick C.</span> and <span style="color: #00ff00;">Ryan V.</span> loved creating the paper and where intrigued at the process used.  <span style="color: #00ff00;">Luca G.</span> and <span style="color: #00ff00;">Lydia G.</span> both had a blast in the pool this week and did great with our swimming lessons.  <span style="color: #00ff00;">Catie B.</span> and <span style="color: #00ff00;">Sophia M.</span> made beautiful leaf collages after going on a nature walk in art class.  We also watched the Lorax in art and <span style="color: #00ff00;">Julia G.</span> and <span style="color: #00ff00;">Gianna P.</span> had a fantastic time watching the short animated film.  In sports this week McBride trio of <span style="color: #00ff00;">Logan, Quinn</span> and <span style="color: #00ff00;">Seamus</span> had a blast playing dodge ball. <span style="color: #00ff00;">Hannah P.</span> and <span style="color: #00ff00;">Ashleigh J.</span> also enjoyed some of our games this week when we played Sharks and Minos.  <span style="color: #00ff00;">Julia A.</span> and <span style="color: #00ff00;">Lucia C.</span> had a great time in Hollywood when we recycled the lyrics of the song <em>Happy</em> and changed the chorus to be about recycling.  Also, a special guest visited us on Friday named John Cassidy, aka the Balloon Guy. <span style="color: #00ff00;"> Sienna B.</span> and <span style="color: #00ff00;">Ana N.</span> loved his show along with all the other campers that where here on Friday.  Finally, congratulations to <span style="color: #00ff00;">Elly G.</span> for being the first camper of the week of our summer.  This was a great first week and we are looking forward to seven more weeks just like it.</span></span>

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<span style="color: #ff6600;"> Elly</span> and <span style="color: #ff6600;">Leah</span> 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. <span style="color: #ff6600;"> Sophia</span> and <span style="color: #ff6600;">Logan</span> 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.<span style="color: #ff6600;">  Julia</span> and <span style="color: #ff6600;">Quinn</span> 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.  <span style="color: #ff6600;">Hannah</span> and <span style="color: #ff6600;">Lydia</span> 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 <span style="color: #ff6600;">Ava</span> and <span style="color: #ff6600;">Lukas</span> had a blast and got both campers and councilors out.  Then in kickball <span style="color: #ff6600;">Ashleigh</span> and <span style="color: #ff6600;">Ryan</span> 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 <span style="color: #ff6600;">Ana</span> 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!!
