The Gophers had tons of fun during the first week of camp!  <span style="color: #00ff00;">Jimmy</span> <span style="color: #000000;">and <span style="color: #00ff00;">Jared</span> always have a blast in the pool and were able to showcase their swimming skills.  Meanwhile, in Hollywood<span style="color: #00ff00;"> Parker</span> and <span style="color: #00ff00;">Grace</span> demonstrated their superb dancing talent during a skit created for the tune Seussical.  Also in the Hollywood, we had <span style="color: #00ff00;">Sammy</span> as the reigning freeze dance champ after several games played.  During sports this week we had many champions.  In world cup soccer <span style="color: #00ff00;">Danielle</span> and <span style="color: #00ff00;">Morgan</span> won in a competitive field of young athletes, and <span style="color: #00ff00;">Kenny</span> was the champion of knockout.  Meanwhile in Science <span style="color: #00ff00;">Aidan</span> and<span style="color: #00ff00;"> Andrew</span> had a blast creating a batch of oobleck.  Also in science, the bug man paid us a visit and<span style="color: #00ff00;"> Emeric</span> and<span style="color: #00ff00;"> Joe</span> were able to catch some awesome bugs to show to the rest of the group.  During art class <span style="color: #00ff00;">Isabelle</span> made some cool trees that came straight from one of Seuss's books.  Also, <span style="color: #00ff00;">Erin</span> and <span style="color: #00ff00;">Ella</span> were able to create Thing 1 and Thing 2 using hand paint.  Though everyone had a blast this week, and we were able to be victorious with our Gopher cheer on cheer day, we had to choose one camper as our camper of the week.  This week <span style="color: #00ff00;">Nolan</span> was able to take home that prize.  He showcased great cooperation, sportsmanship, and listening skills all week.  We can't wait to see these guys for the remainder of the summer, and we know it will be just as much fun as this week was.</span>
