Week 1 at Del Val Future Stars Camp's theme was <span style="color: #339966;"> <strong>"If I ran the rain forest"</strong></span>

On Monday, we made hand print safari animals! The Counselors and I assisted  the campers with tracing their hand prints. They were able to pick from a variety of animals that lived in the rain forest. We went over what animals they thought lived in the rain forest and then I showed them pictures of animals that do. On Tuesday, we made paper chain green snakes! The campers LOVED this activity because I gave them the opportunity to pick the color they wanted, they chose the size of snake they wanted, and they decorated them. On Wednesday, we made tissue paper animals! The campers were able to pick the animal they wanted to make. This was by far one of the messiest days of camp this week! They loved using the liquid glue! The creative animals they created were fantastic. Thursday's activity was everyone's favorite. We made paper plate rain forest animals. The campers chose what animal they wanted to make and everything turned out great. On Friday, we finished the theme of the week up by drawing our favorite animal and wrote a poem (Gophers, Gators) and/or three facts (Ducks,Dragons, Hawks) about the animal. If campers finish an activity early, then they were able to make something of their choice with the materials we were using or they were able to make bracelets and/or animals out of pipe cleaners. Everyone did a fabulous job and I am so proud of all of the campers hard work and artistic abilities!

I plan to give all of the campers their art work on each Friday to take home.
