She always seemed to be able to dodge any ball coming at her thrown by her peers. While at the pool, <span style="color: #ff0000;">Catie B.</span> was a fish in the water as she practiced backstroke and freestyle. At the end of the week, we even combined them into a corkscrew where they would use one arm to do freestyle and then rotate on their back to do backstroke with the other arm. On Wacky Wednesday it was Red, White, and Blue day. <span style="color: #ff0000;">Marlena S.</span> was all decked out in her red, white, and blue that we think she was more patriotic that Uncle Sam himself.

Throughout the week, all of the campers took part in carnival related activities that included making their own designs for ski-ball, conducting fun science experiments, creating a puppet show, and making cotton candy and popcorn in art class. Every camper was able to show off their unique talents in each activity we participated in this week. During a game of kickball we played with the hawk group, <strong>Julia A.</strong> and<strong> Marlena S.</strong> used their teamwork skills by working well with the younger children and always playing fair. In her first week at future stars,<strong> India S.</strong> showed off her swimming abilities. In a soccer game we played this week <strong>Isha M.</strong> and <strong>Tye F.</strong> showcased their talents and scored a few goals which helped their team win the game. When playing "ships and sailors", which is a game similar to Simon says, <strong>Stephanie B.''s</strong> listening skills payed off and helped her come out on top.<strong> Catie B.</strong> and <strong>Jared S.</strong> made delicious looking cotton candy and popcorn out of paint and cotton balls. <strong>Joseph C.</strong> also showed off his artistic ability by making both clown hats and sailor hats out of construction paper. <strong>Tommy E.''s</strong> quickness and agility helped him in a game of poison that we played this week. In another game that is similar to dodge ball called final four<strong>, Delania S.</strong> excelled. All of the campers made puppets this week for the performance that we had on Friday. <strong>Gianna R.</strong> made a Scooby-Doo puppet that she used to move around during our "Shake it Off" puppet show. <strong>Bella S.</strong> worked well with the other gophers during science when we created a ski ball game that we played. By creating their own game, the gophers were able to use their imagination, make a design, and then create the image that they had in their head. Tommy E. is the top banana for the gopher group this week. Tommy is a very good sport and and always listens and cooperates in each activity we take part in during the week. I hope to see all of the campers back next week!\r\n\r\nYour Counselors,\r\n\r\nMegan, Chris, Seth\r\n<h2 style="text-align: center;">Week 4: Fueled for Fun</h2>\r\n<span style="color: #33cccc;">The theme for the fourth week of camp was fueled for fun! Throughout the week campers learned the importance of food in an active lifestyle. Since food was the focus, the gophers did a ton of learning in science with experiments covering many different topics. <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Tye F</span></strong>. and <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Catie B</span>.</strong> led the way in extracting the DNA from strawberry''s while also having a great time. Another science experiment included making a diagram of the human body using tissue paper and other craft materials. <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Bella S</span>.</strong> was super creative in finding ways to represent the human body. Besides science, the campers also had a blast in Hollywood. The gophers learned to play kitty in the corner early in the week, and could not stop playing it during our game periods. <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Jared S</span>.</strong> excelled in the game, rarely becoming the "kitty". Also in Hollywood the kids did some team building activities. <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Marlena S. </span></strong><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #33cccc;">was a great leader for the gophers, and her leadership allowed the whole group to excel!</span></span><strong> </strong> On Tuesday, Magic By Stu came to camp and performed excellent magic for the kids to enjoy. The gophers loved trying to figure out the secret behind each and every trick. In the pool, <strong style="color: #000000;">Gianna R. </strong>had so much fun in the learning and practicing backstroke. The gophers participating  in a few different swimming competitions with the hawks, where luckily the gophers came out on top! In art, the gophers used food to make some awesome projects including a milk bubble piece, and painting using vegetables. The artwork of both <span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Delaina S. and Julia A</strong></span>. were exceptional in using vegetables such as broccoli and carrots to create brilliant artwork.  This week was definitely a fun one, and the counselors are happy to announce that the gopher camper of the week is <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Stephanie B</span></strong>. She showed excellent respect, cooperation and sportsmanship throughout the week, and set a great example for all the campers to follow. Even if she did not always get to play the game she wanted, she would go with the flow and always have fun. We hope to see her and the other campers in the following weeks.

Carnival week is the pinnacle of the Future Stars summer. We started off the week by playing soccer. <strong>Sarah D.</strong> was a phenomenal goal tender as she didn''t let a single ball get through. We then followed this with a game of hockey. <strong>Julia G.</strong> was an astounding goalie with the ability to stop shots from both sides of the rink. <strong>Tommy R.</strong>, on Tuesday, won a game of knockout. On Wednesday, we played another game of soccer and <strong>Anjay B.</strong> and <strong>Brady L.</strong> both consistently helped their team score goals and stop the other team''s offense. We then decided to play kickball. While in the outfield, <strong>Liam C.</strong> made an outstanding catch that impressed everyone. This week we tried a new game called gator ball. The kids enjoyed it and had a great time! While playing gator ball, <strong>Logan M.</strong> made an awesome save helping lead his team to victory. Later in the day on Wednesday, we played tennis baseball, a baseball game that uses a tennis racket and a tennis ball. <strong>Matt W.</strong> made a great catch while playing right field. On Thursday, we played ultimate football. <strong>Patrick C.</strong> scored multiple touchdowns for his team, while also playing stellar defense. Later in the afternoon, <strong>Tyler H.</strong> won jackpot as we played out in the beautiful weather. We also played hockey in the Aggies'' green gym. With all of our competitive athletes in our group, we got into an intense hockey game. Sweat was streaming down the campers'' faces, but they continued to push on in the 0-0 tie. We went into overtime and <strong>Connor C.</strong> was able to score a goal for his team. His team celebrated in the euphoria of the victory and then shook hands with the other team. On Friday, we played a game of dodge ball. <strong>Christopher H.</strong> was the last person still in for his team, and he managed to stay in. Meanwhile on the sideline, <strong>Roman K.</strong> was able to score a basket from the half court line to get his whole team back into the game. Throughout the week, <strong>Quinn M.</strong> was always cheering on his teammates and fellow campers. He kept a positive attitude and continuously enjoyed all the activities. We would lastly like to congratulate our camper of the week, <strong>Cole W. </strong>He always listened to directions and hustled in every sport/activity throughout the week. <strong>Way to go Cole!!! </strong>We hope everyone has a great and wonderful weekend, and we can''t wait to see the Sharks back for next week!</p>\r\n<p style="text-align: left;">Your Counselors,</p>\r\n<p style="text-align: left;">Nolan P., Helen C., and Matt A.</p>\r\n<p style="text-align: left;"></p>\r\n<p style="text-align: left;"></p>\r\nFuel for Fun:\r\n\r\nThe Sharks used a lot of fuel to have a lot of fun this week at camp. When we played a game of Jackpot, <b>Hayden M </b>showcased his receiving skills with a great catch. This Friday is <b>Logan M </b>and <b>Quinn Mc’s </b>birthday, and they both played with great energy and fantastic skill when we played Ultimate Football. This week in the MLB was the Home Run Derby, and we had plenty of power hitters here in the Sharks. In our game of whiffle ball <b>Connor C, Roman K, and Brady L</b> all hit at least one home run. <b>Tommy R </b>stood out in our lacrosse game and shootout, scoring multiple goals and even some assists. We also had a soccer shootout, and <b>Major R and Matt W </b>both were important components in their team winning the game. In our game of Poison, which is a form of dodgeball, <b>Addie G, Koen R, and Tyler H </b>were able to get many outs while avoiding getting hit themselves. In the pool, <b>Charlotte A and Sarah D </b>were fantastic swimmers. When we competed with some older groups when playing Kick Ball, <b>Noah C,</b> <b>Madison Z, and</b> <b>Anjay B </b>still stood out with some outstanding kicks. During 9 square<b>, Quinn Ma </b>was the reigning champion, remaining as king almost the entire game. <b>Julia G and Chris H </b>both had some key hits and defensive plays in Tennis Baseball. We chose <b>Liam C </b>as our Camper of the Week because of his skills in every sport he played, but most importantly, the effort he put in to everything he tried, and the sportsmanship he showed after every game.

Points were rewarded for sportsmanship, good behavior, and winning games.

Every camper exhibited good sportsmanship and excelled at different sports we played. <strong>Patrick C. </strong>showed off his shooting precision during the hockey shoot out. <b>Julia G.</b> also shined when playing hockey. <strong>Connor C.</strong> and <strong>Tyler H.</strong> were outstanding players during our "steal the bacon" soccer match. <strong>Sarah D.</strong> was a finalist in our game of poison, which is a hybrid of dodge ball and freeze tag. <strong>Addison G.</strong> was a graceful winner during a game of final four when she came out victorious. <strong>Christopher H.</strong> and <b>Madison Z.</b> were very strong swimmers in the pool during our backstroke unit. <strong>Quinn Ma. </strong>showcased his all-star basketball moves in our basketball relay race which consisted of passing, shooting, and dribbling.<strong> Logan M. </strong>was one of the few campers to make a basket during dodgeball and "free" his teammates who had previously been hit by a ball were out of the game.

There was lots of talent here at Future Stars with both the campers and the Solo Circus on Thursday. This week in Hollywood we had our annual talent show. The campers were given the opportunity to show off their great and amazing talents. To start off the talent show <strong>Sarah P.</strong> and <strong>Elena B.</strong> showed all of the camp how to make marble art. They covered a marble in paint and then rolled it around on a piece of paper. It was very neat! Also in the talent show, <strong>Nate M.</strong> and his lovely assistant, <strong>Jillian V.</strong>, put on a great magic show while entertaining everyone in the crowd. On Monday, before the talent show, to get in the performing spirit, <strong>Amanda S.</strong> and <strong>Leah C.</strong> sang karaoke to the Frozen hit song, "Let It Go". In art and science this week, the theme was space. In art, <strong>Zachary W.</strong> had a very accurate representation/drawing of all the planets in our solar system. <strong>Issac M.</strong> created a magnificent glitter star out of Popsicle sticks and, of course, glitter. Also in science, <strong>Tommy C.</strong> had a lot of fun while getting messy making moon dough. Throughout the week we played lots of games and sports to vary up the days events. In a game of kickball, <strong>Ethan C.</strong> and <strong>Addison L.</strong> proved to be true MVP''s for their team as they carried them to victory. On Thursday, we played a game of capture the flag. While playing this, <strong>Jude R.</strong> was somehow always able to get the other teams'' flag while protecting his own. On Wednesday, we had the Belgian horses come to camp to give us a hayride around the Del Val campus. While on the hayride, <strong>Tessa G.</strong> and <strong>Mackenzie B.</strong> had a blast seeing the different parts of the campus and all the animals on the farms! Finally on Thursday, we had the Solo Circus come to perform for us. During this,<strong> Tyler P.</strong> and <strong>Maddie M.</strong> really enjoyed all the fascinating and dangerous tricks that included juggling with machetes!

Had a blast with this activity.  <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Ryan I</strong></span>. and <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Leah L</strong></span>. had fun making a milk splatter picture where they blew bubbles in milk with food color onto a piece of paper.  We continued to learn about fuel for fun and about the body and created a paper skeleton with some organs.  <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Grace R</strong></span>. really enjoyed learning about the anatomy of a person and creating their own person.  Then In Hollywood the kids created random phrases and put them onto note cards.  then they were put into a scene and given the card to read off making for a funny conversation!  <strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Andrew B</span></strong>. and <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Alexis F</strong></span>. were hysterical in their skits.  Also in Hollywood we worked on our group dynamic and being able to communicate without talking.  this skill was put to the test in Kitty needs a corner.  where <strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Madison S</span></strong>. and <strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Catherine M</span></strong>. used eye contact to switch seats without the "Kitty" taking their seats.  Besides all the learning that was going on we played some intense sports.  <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Conner M</strong></span>. and <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Tyler E</strong>.</span> had a fantastic time playing dodge ball with the all sports groups to try and beat the counselors and girls team.  Another game that the campers played was hand ball where <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Emeric</strong> <strong>S</strong></span>. was a star out on the court.  During our game of knockout for a sport <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Abbey A</strong></span>. came out on top  as the victor.  after all of these sports and games the kids needed a chance to cool off and what better way would be swimming gin the pool.  <strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Jaden H</span></strong>. was like a fish in the water swimming all around and having a grand old time.  A game the kids were introduced to on Tuesday was King Fisher where the kids swam side to side and trying to be to the first one out of the pool on the other side.  <strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">William T</span></strong>. really enjoyed this swimming competition.  Then to begin the week the kids got to see a magic show where <strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Isabelle B</span></strong>.

In Science, we learned about jellyfish, hermit crabs, and density differences between salt and fresh water. Then, with their jellyfish knowledge, they created a jellyfish in a bottle. <strong>Brianna S. </strong>and <strong>Alexis F.</strong> already knew a lot about jellyfish and had no problem explaining it to their peers. <strong>Andrew B. </strong>and <strong>Isabelle B.</strong> tested the density of different objects such as Model Magic, fruit snacks, marbles, and raisins. In Art, we continued with our beach theme and used many different resources to create a beach scene out of pasta. <strong>Hannah E.</strong> used her creativity to make both a beautiful sunset and a shark hat that looks like a shark attack. During the week, we played a lot of fun sports, such as capture the flag and final four. <strong>Delia</strong><strong> M.</strong> surprised the all sports group with her sneak attack to capture the flag for her team. <strong>Emeric S. </strong>and <strong>Maddie S.</strong> both made it to the final four during our intense game.

Our next game was called "Kitty in the Corner" and although everyone in the Hawks loved playing that game, <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Jerry G</span></strong>. loved being the kitty and making meow noises. One of the drama "exercises" was how each camper would write down a silly sentence and they would have to be incorporated into the scene. <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Hannah P.</span></strong> was a triplet who forgot to change her underwear for three weeks!! In Art we made my plates and grape towers. <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Ava M.''s</span></strong> tower almost touched the sky it was so big! Since this weeks weather was colder in the morning, the gophers got to swim with us. This led to a relay of freestyle and backstroke.<strong><span style="color: #000000;"> Leah C.</span></strong> led the Hawks to victory in the freestyle and backstroke!! All of these events led up to Friday where we conclude with our camper of the week! This week we received a new camper who has been here in the past. Her name is <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Bella M</span></strong>! Congratulations Bella, enjoy your banana trophy!\r\n\r\nCounselors,\r\n\r\nAlison and Shane\r\n<h1></h1>\r\n<h1></h1>\r\n<h1><span style="color: #0000ff;">Blue</span> and <span style="color: #ffcc00;">Gold </span>Olympics!</h1>\r\n<img alt="" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1376093193/profile-pic.png" width="350" height="350" />\r\n\r\nWhat a great week of fun games for the Hawks!!! This week, the hawks split up into two teams, blue, and gold, and competed in friendly games in all of our activities. This spirited competition eventually lead to the Blue and Gold Olympic Games on Friday. In Science, we did a series of challenges including turtle races and balloon challenges. <span style="color: #ffcc00;">Noah K</span> and <span style="color: #ffcc00;">Sabrina G</span> really excelled in the balloon challenge while <span style="color: #0000ff;">Lukas M</span> and <span style="color: #0000ff;">Ryan V</span> really did well in the turtle race. In Hollywood, we did a few trivia challenges touching on the campers'' abilities to identify music icons and counselors through visual and oral cues. <span style="color: #0000ff;">Leah C.</span> was excellent at naming all of the logos and won numerous points for her team. Although<span style="color: #ffcc00;"> Jerry G.</span> wasn''t fond of the balloons, he did very well at the clothes obstacle during the Olympics which led his team to victory! In the pool, after our lessons, we would play games to help earn points for each team. <span style="color: #ffcc00;">Dean R.</span> would always have a smile on his face when trying to steal the bacon from the other players while <span style="color: #ffcc00;">Ava M.</span> enjoyed the counselors tossing her in the pool during free swim! <span style="color: #0000ff;">Hannah P.</span> and <span style="color: #ffcc00;">Ana N.</span> were very artistic when it came to decorating the hopscotch page in Art, going from peace signs on the 5 all the way to making cubes! This week was very exciting and we can''t wait to see what week 4 will bring us!\r\n\r\nCounselors,\r\n\r\nAlison, Brian, and Caterina\r\n<h1><span style="color: #ff6600;">Down the Shore Week!</span></h1>\r\n<div><a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=i&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=images&amp;cd=&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=0CAcQjRw&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fdreamatico.com%2Fbeach.html&amp;ei=VVWVVaiTC4G7-AHmz5jgCw&amp;bvm=bv.96952980,d.cWw&amp;psig=AFQjCNFe-_BJA3aTYLT-CnuVitfvS6160g&amp;ust=1435936465824597" data-ved="0CAcQjRw" data-noload=""><img style="width: 558px;

 This week in Science we took a dip into the world of Art.  We began our week exploring spices - turmeric, cinnamon, chili powder, and ginger.  First the campers predicted the smell of the spice before it was revealed.  We all knew the sweet smell of cinnamon and the toughest to figure out was turmeric.  The spices were then mixed into paint colors and the campers took to finding their inner artist by creating their own work using spice paints.\r\n\r\nAll campers really had fun with this next activity - Shaving Cream Prints.  We learned that the soap properties of the shaving cream do not absorb food coloring.  When an index card is laid upon the shaving cream swirled with food coloring, the dye is more attracted to the paper.  When excess shaving cream is scraped from the index card, a really cool tie dye effect is left on the index card.  These could be used a great homemade note cards/thank you notes/place cards, etc.\r\n\r\nWe also set up a classroom pendulum - using chairs, the pole of a garden rake, string, cup, water, paper, and of course paint.  We discussed examples of a pendulum - clock, swings, etc.  It was explained that a pendulum has a fixed point and that gravity plays a very important part in its function.  When paint was added, we could see patterns and designs on the paper form as we watched the pendulum swing.\r\n\r\nDucks had fun exploring with food coloring and color explosions with vinegar and baking soda.  This was really fun to watch their reactions, as they saw the colors bubble, fizz, and mix.  They became Mad Scientists!\r\n\r\nDragons, Hawks, Gophers, and Gators learned about artist Georgia O''Keeffe and her work with water color and oil.  Through this project we learned that oil and water don''t mix!  Many of us know that already but it was fun to really see it in action.  We had fun using liquid watercolors - so cool!  They dropped color onto watercolor paper then dropped oil on top.  Beads of color would try to separate from the oil.  They created beautiful, vibrant masterpieces.\r\n\r\nOf course we had to get a bit more messy - so we took on the challenge of creating bouncy balls.  This involved following a recipe to create the right consistency that would produce a material that was able to be molded into a ball.  While the balls didn''t bounce like a super ball - they did bounce!  The whole process was fun and messy.\r\n\r\nLastly, we explored rainbows.  We discussed how a rainbow is made and the colors created.  The project was to make rainbow paper.  Simply dipping a piece of black paper into a bowl of water with a couple drops of clear nail polish creates rainbow paper.  Very cool and super easy.\r\n\r\nHope everyone has a great weekend and welcome August!  Summer is flying by!\r\n\r\n~ Miss Tricia\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">FUTURE STAR BLAZERS   Week</span> 7</b>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThis week in science we began our week by watching a short video of a space shuttle launch - the focus being on how the launch happens.  We then went outdoors and launched film canister rockets.  Many kids had no idea what a film canister was - not surprising.  But they did enjoy the launch.  To do this at home, place an Alka-Seltzer tablet into the canister and add a small amount of water to start dissolving the tablet.  Quickly seal the lid tightly and flip the canister upside down.  Within moments the canister will rocket straight up into the sky.  This was an awesome and fun moment for them.\r\n\r\nFor the older groups - Hawks, Gophers, and Gators, they were put to the test of creating a balloon powered car.  This was done in small groups, with emphasis on making modifications to their cars based upon results.  Propulsion, friction, Newton''s Laws of Motion are all a part of this activity.  The goal was to have you call move by solely being powered by a balloon.  It was awesome to see the teamwork and minds working to create a product.  This was completed over several periods and the final day was a race and explanation of their product.\r\n\r\nThe Ducks and Dragons were given the opportunity to feel what Moon''s surface would be like.  We created moon dough.  They really enjoyed getting into the dusty and mold-able substance (baking soda, powered black paint, glitter, and water).  They even made some moon rocks.\r\n\r\nAt the end of the week the  Ducks and Dragons learned about Constellations.  Then two counselors became human constellations on a large piece of paper.  The campers added the starts and made the night sky.  Each counselor constellation was given a name.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;', 'Science', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '1643-revision-v1', '', '', '2015-08-07 13:37:14', '2015-08-07 13:37:14', '', 1643, 'http://futurestarscamps.com/delval/?p=1948', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

 This week in Science we took a dip into the world of Art.  We began our week exploring spices - turmeric, cinnamon, chili powder, and ginger.  First the campers predicted the smell of the spice before it was revealed.  We all knew the sweet smell of cinnamon and the toughest to figure out was turmeric.  The spices were then mixed into paint colors and the campers took to finding their inner artist by creating their own work using spice paints.\r\n\r\nAll campers really had fun with this next activity - Shaving Cream Prints.  We learned that the soap properties of the shaving cream do not absorb food coloring.  When an index card is laid upon the shaving cream swirled with food coloring, the dye is more attracted to the paper.  When excess shaving cream is scraped from the index card, a really cool tie dye effect is left on the index card.  These could be used a great homemade note cards/thank you notes/place cards, etc.\r\n\r\nWe also set up a classroom pendulum - using chairs, the pole of a garden rake, string, cup, water, paper, and of course paint.  We discussed examples of a pendulum - clock, swings, etc.  It was explained that a pendulum has a fixed point and that gravity plays a very important part in its function.  When paint was added, we could see patterns and designs on the paper form as we watched the pendulum swing.\r\n\r\nDucks had fun exploring with food coloring and color explosions with vinegar and baking soda.  This was really fun to watch their reactions, as they saw the colors bubble, fizz, and mix.  They became Mad Scientists!\r\n\r\nDragons, Hawks, Gophers, and Gators learned about artist Georgia O''Keeffe and her work with water color and oil.  Through this project we learned that oil and water don''t mix!  Many of us know that already but it was fun to really see it in action.  We had fun using liquid watercolors - so cool!  They dropped color onto watercolor paper then dropped oil on top.  Beads of color would try to separate from the oil.  They created beautiful, vibrant masterpieces.\r\n\r\nOf course we had to get a bit more messy - so we took on the challenge of creating bouncy balls.  This involved following a recipe to create the right consistency that would produce a material that was able to be molded into a ball.  While the balls didn''t bounce like a super ball - they did bounce!  The whole process was fun and messy.\r\n\r\nLastly, we explored rainbows.  We discussed how a rainbow is made and the colors created.  The project was to make rainbow paper.  Simply dipping a piece of black paper into a bowl of water with a couple drops of clear nail polish creates rainbow paper.  Very cool and super easy.\r\n\r\nHope everyone has a great weekend and welcome August!  Summer is flying by!\r\n\r\n~ Miss Tricia\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">FUTURE STAR BLAZERS   Week</span> 7</b>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThis week in science we began our week by watching a short video of a space shuttle launch - the focus being on how the launch happens.  We then went outdoors and launched film canister rockets.  Many kids had no idea what a film canister was - not surprising.  But they did enjoy the launch.  To do this at home, place an Alka-Seltzer tablet into the canister and add a small amount of water to start dissolving the tablet.  Quickly seal the lid tightly and flip the canister upside down.  Within moments the canister will rocket straight up into the sky.  This was an awesome and fun moment for them.\r\n\r\nFor the older groups - Hawks, Gophers, and Gators, they were put to the test of creating a balloon powered car.  This was done in small groups, with emphasis on making modifications to their cars based upon results.  Propulsion, friction, Newton''s Laws of Motion are all a part of this activity.  The goal was to have you car move by solely being powered by a balloon.  It was awesome to see the teamwork and minds working to create a product.  This was completed over several periods and the final day was a race and explanation of their product.\r\n\r\nThe Ducks and Dragons were given the opportunity to feel what the Moon''s surface would be like.  We created moon dough.  They really enjoyed getting into the dusty and mold-able substance (baking soda, powered black paint, glitter, and water).  They even made some moon rocks.\r\n\r\nAt the end of the week the  Ducks and Dragons learned about Constellations.  Two counselors became human constellations on a large piece of paper.  The campers added the starts and made the night sky.  Each counselor constellation was given a name and shared with the groups.  They were fun and creative!\r\n\r\nHave a great weekend.  See you next week.  I am looking forward to the Camp Show next week!!\r\n\r\n~ Miss Tricia\r\n\r\n&nbsp;', 'Science', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '1643-revision-v1', '', '', '2015-08-07 14:02:14', '2015-08-07 14:02:14', '', 1643, 'http://futurestarscamps.com/delval/?p=1949', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

There was lots of talent here at Future Stars with both the campers and the Solo Circus on Thursday. This week in Hollywood we had our annual talent show. The campers were given the opportunity to show off their great and amazing talents. To start off the talent show <strong>Sarah P.</strong> and <strong>Elena B.</strong> showed all of the camp how to make marble art. They covered a marble in paint and then rolled it around on a piece of paper. It was very neat! Also in the talent show, <strong>Nate M.</strong> and his lovely assistant, <strong>Jillian V.</strong>, put on a great magic show while entertaining everyone in the crowd. On Monday, before the talent show, to get in the performing spirit, <strong>Amanda S.</strong> and <strong>Leah C.</strong> sang karaoke to the Frozen hit song, "Let It Go".

Throughout the week campers learned the importance of food in an active lifestyle. Since food was the focus, the gophers did a ton of learning in science with experiments covering many different topics. <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Tye F</span></strong>. and <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Catie B</span>.</strong> led the way in extracting the DNA from strawberry''s while also having a great time. Another science experiment included making a diagram of the human body using tissue paper and other craft materials. <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Bella S</span>.</strong> was super creative in finding ways to represent the human body. Besides science, the campers also had a blast in Hollywood. The gophers learned to play kitty in the corner early in the week, and could not stop playing it during our game periods. <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Jared S</span>.</strong> excelled in the game, rarely becoming the "kitty". Also in Hollywood the kids did some team building activities. <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Marlena S. </span></strong><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #33cccc;">was a great leader for the gophers, and her leadership allowed the whole group to excel!</span></span><strong> </strong> On Tuesday, Magic By Stu came to camp and performed excellent magic for the kids to enjoy. The gophers loved trying to figure out the secret behind each and every trick. In the pool, <strong style="color: #000000;">Gianna R. </strong>had so much fun in the learning and practicing backstroke. The gophers participating  in a few different swimming competitions with the hawks, where luckily the gophers came out on top! In art, the gophers used food to make some awesome projects including a milk bubble piece, and painting using vegetables. The artwork of both <span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Delaina S. and Julia A</strong></span>. were exceptional in using vegetables such as broccoli and carrots to create brilliant artwork.  This week was definitely a fun one, and the counselors are happy to announce that the gopher camper of the week is <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Stephanie B</span></strong>. She showed excellent respect, cooperation and sportsmanship throughout the week, and set a great example for all the campers to follow. Even if she did not always get to play the game she wanted, she would go with the flow and always have fun. We hope to see her and the other campers in the following weeks. Next week is the Carnival so it will be a fun filled week for sure!</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style="color: #33cccc;">Your Counselors,</span>\r\n\r\n<span style="color: #33cccc;">Chris, Megan, Matt</span>\r\n<h2 style="text-align: center;"></h2>\r\n<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;"> Week 1: If I Ran The Rainforest</span></strong></h2>\r\n<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #99cc00; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It is great to have everyone back at camp for the first week.</span><span style="font-size: medium;">  </span><span style="font-size: medium;">It is also nice to see a bunch of new faces joining camp.</span><span style="font-size: medium;">  </span><span style="font-size: medium;">During this first week we had a theme of “If I ran the Rainforest”, where everything we did had to do with the animals and environment of the rainforest.

All the beautiful weather during the week made it really feel as if we were down the shore. Everything we did this week was related to activities and things that one would do down the shore. In Hollywood we created a commercial to convince people to go to Wildwood. We took video of the campers as they tried to convince the viewers to go down to Wildwood. We also created our own logo. <span style="color: #ff0000;">Delania S.</span> really enjoyed creating our logo, which was a fox. <span style="color: #ff0000;">Jared S.</span> also was a great contributor to the progress with the commercial. He helped pick Wildwood and helped everybody get the job done. During the week we spent lots of time outside. We were even able to play dodge ball! <span style="color: #ff0000;">Gianna R. </span>really enjoyed playing dodge ball this week. She always seemed to be able to dodge any ball coming at her thrown by her peers. While at the pool, <span style="color: #ff0000;">Catie B.</span> was a fish in the water as she practiced backstroke and freestyle. At the end of the week, we even combined them into a corkscrew where they would use one arm to do freestyle and then rotate on their back to do backstroke with the other arm. On Wacky Wednesday it was Red, White, and Blue day. <span style="color: #ff0000;">Marlena S.</span> was all decked out in her red, white, and blue that we think she was more patriotic that Uncle Sam himself. In science we learned about hermit crabs. We even made our own hemit crabs out of model magic and seashells. <span style="color: #ff0000;">Tye F.</span> enjoyed himself while creating his hermit crab, and it even looked like the real thing! During art we created beaches throughout the week by creating our own rocks, sand, and fireworks! Not only did we do all of these things, everyday we had time to go to the computer lab. In the computer lab <span style="color: #ff0000;">Nadia K.</span> enjoyed herself playing cool math games.

Also in Hollywood, we played videos of all the counselors singing, and the campers were challenged to guess who the counselor was, based only on voice. </span></span><span style="color: #ff6600;"><span style="color: #000080;">Lucia C.</span> was very good at listening to the video and knowing who the counselor was. We competed in a ton of games in science throughout the week. <span style="color: #000080;">Tommy E. </span>and <span style="color: #000080;">Nadia K. <span style="color: #ff6600;">stood out in all of the games, helping to gain points for their teams. <span style="color: #000080;">Marlena S. <span style="color: #ff6600;">was very enthusiastic during art and created several different projects that supported her team. In the pool, we focused most of the week on backstroke drills. <span style="color: #000080;">Tye F.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="color: #ff6600;"><span style="color: #000080;"><span style="color: #000080;"><span style="color: #000080;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"> and</span> Delaina S. <span style="color: #ff6600;">were both able to demonstrate the drills and complete them, even the difficult ones, with ease. During our game periods, the campers enjoyed playing dodge ball related games, such as poison and final four. <span style="color: #000080;">Julia A.</span></span><span style="color: #ff6600;">won multiple games of final four, dodging every ball the came her way. In the game poison, <span style="color: #000080;">Jared S. <span style="color: #ff6600;">used his speed to get everyone out, including the counselors.

This week was focused on the good foods that we put into our bodies. In science <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Dean R.</span></strong> and <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Maddie P</span></strong>. had the outlines of their bodies traced so we can make the bones and organs! We also extracted strawberry DNA. For one of our games, we played World Cup Soccer. The team of<span style="color: #c0d02e;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;"> Lukas M</span></strong>. </span>and <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Graham S</span></strong>. were always the first to score! Next was Hollywood, we played multiple group dynamic games. We played a game called "What is this?" and it included items that we would use in the kitchen. <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Ana N</span></strong>. was very good at figuring out what the items were originally used for. Our next game was called "Kitty in the Corner" and although everyone in the Hawks loved playing that game, <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Jerry G</span></strong>. loved being the kitty and making meow noises. One of the drama "exercises" was how each camper would write down a silly sentence and they would have to be incorporated into the scene. <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Hannah P.</span></strong> was a triplet who forgot to change her underwear for three weeks!! In Art we made my plates and grape towers. <strong><span style="color: #000000;">Ava M.''s</span></strong> tower almost touched the sky it was so big! Since this weeks weather was colder in the morning, the gophers got to swim with us. This led to a relay of freestyle and backstroke.<strong><span style="color: #000000;"> Leah C.</span></strong> led the Hawks to victory in the freestyle and backstroke!! All of these events led up to Friday where we conclude with our camper of the week! This week we received a new camper who has been here in the past.

This week, the hawks split up into two teams, blue, and gold, and competed in friendly games in all of our activities. This spirited competition eventually lead to the Blue and Gold Olympic Games on Friday. In Science, we did a series of challenges including turtle races and balloon challenges. <span style="color: #ffcc00;">Noah K</span> and <span style="color: #ffcc00;">Sabrina G</span> really excelled in the balloon challenge while <span style="color: #0000ff;">Lukas M</span> and <span style="color: #0000ff;">Ryan V</span> really did well in the turtle race. In Hollywood, we did a few trivia challenges touching on the campers'' abilities to identify music icons and counselors through visual and oral cues. <span style="color: #0000ff;">Leah C.</span> was excellent at naming all of the logos and won numerous points for her team. Although<span style="color: #ffcc00;"> Jerry G.</span> wasn''t fond of the balloons, he did very well at the clothes obstacle during the Olympics which led his team to victory! In the pool, after our lessons, we would play games to help earn points for each team. <span style="color: #ffcc00;">Dean R.</span> would always have a smile on his face when trying to steal the bacon from the other players while <span style="color: #ffcc00;">Ava M.</span> enjoyed the counselors tossing her in the pool during free swim! <span style="color: #0000ff;">Hannah P.</span> and <span style="color: #ffcc00;">Ana N.</span> were very artistic when it came to decorating the hopscotch page in Art, going from peace signs on the 5 all the way to making cubes!

Banana day rolled around and<strong> Isabelle B.</strong> wanted to show that our group can work together, so our cheer was can-can bananas. For sports, we played wall ball and world cup soccer. <strong>Andrew B</strong>. helped his team, Cuba, win! <strong>Vincent B</strong>. would throw the ball so far that it would get most of the people out. Before making the props, we did two last science experiments. Our first one was lava lamps, <strong>Hannah E.</strong> and <strong>Leah E.</strong> already made these for school so they were a big help when it came to putting it all together. Then we made rockets and windmills. <strong>Danielle A''s.</strong> windmill was able to spin around more then 10 times. <strong>Max A.</strong> and <strong>Abbey A''s.</strong> rockets launched so far that it almost reached the door from the other side of the room!

Had a blast with this activity.  <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Ryan I</strong></span>. and <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Leah L</strong></span>. had fun making a milk splatter picture where they blew bubbles in milk with food color onto a piece of paper.  We continued to learn about fuel for fun and about the body and created a paper skeleton with some organs.  <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Grace R</strong></span>. really enjoyed learning about the anatomy of a person and creating their own person.  Then In Hollywood the kids created random phrases and put them onto note cards.  then they were put into a scene and given the card to read off making for a funny conversation!  <strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Andrew B</span></strong>. and <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Alexis F</strong></span>. were hysterical in their skits.  Also in Hollywood we worked on our group dynamic and being able to communicate without talking.  this skill was put to the test in Kitty needs a corner.  where <strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Madison S</span></strong>. and <strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Catherine M</span></strong>. used eye contact to switch seats without the "Kitty" taking their seats.  Besides all the learning that was going on we played some intense sports.  <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Conner M</strong></span>. and <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Tyler E</strong>.</span> had a fantastic time playing dodge ball with the all sports groups to try and beat the counselors and girls team.  Another game that the campers played was hand ball where <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Emeric</strong> <strong>S</strong></span>. was a star out on the court.  During our game of knockout for a sport <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Abbey A</strong></span>. came out on top  as the victor.  after all of these sports and games the kids needed a chance to cool off and what better way would be swimming gin the pool.  <strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Jaden H</span></strong>. was like a fish in the water swimming all around and having a grand old time.  A game the kids were introduced to on Tuesday was King Fisher where the kids swam side to side and trying to be to the first one out of the pool on the other side.  <strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">William T</span></strong>. really enjoyed this swimming competition.  Then to begin the week the kids got to see a magic show where <strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Isabelle B</span></strong>. Got to be a magician''s assistant and tried to pull the longest straw out of a bag where the magician then pulled out a straw 6 feet long!!  Finally we want to congratulate <strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Max A</span></strong>. on being the Gators camper of the week.  He had good spirits and was always enthusiastic about everything we did.  Hopefully well see everyone back next week for our Carnival week.\r\n\r\nThanks Kevin and Erin\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Week 3: Blue and Gold Olympics</strong> This week was blue and gold Olympics here at future stars and it was so much fun! All week, the gators competed against each other in a variety of activities. On Friday during the olympics, <strong>Tyler E.</strong> was the last one standing in water balloon hot potato and got a point for the gold team. One day when we played mat ball with the all sports groups and <strong>Emeric S.</strong> got a homerun! Art was a lot of fun for the group, and <strong>Leah E. </strong>really enjoyed Roll-a-Picasco. Also in art, we used coffee filters to create a tie-dye piece and <strong>Hannah E. </strong>used her creative skills to make a really cool one. In Hollywood, we did competitive guessing games. <strong>Danielle A.,</strong> <strong>Madison S. </strong>really enjoyed guessing counselors, famous musicians, and logos.

In Hollywood, the campers are in the process of making a commercial about Cape May. <strong>Danielle A.</strong> and <strong>Leah E. </strong>helped the group come up with logo and slogan ideas. In Science, we learned about jellyfish, hermit crabs, and density differences between salt and fresh water. Then, with their jellyfish knowledge, they created a jellyfish in a bottle. <strong>Brianna S. </strong>and <strong>Alexis F.</strong> already knew a lot about jellyfish and had no problem explaining it to their peers. <strong>Andrew B. </strong>and <strong>Isabelle B.</strong> tested the density of different objects such as Model Magic, fruit snacks, marbles, and raisins. In Art, we continued with our beach theme and used many different resources to create a beach scene out of pasta. <strong>Hannah E.</strong> used her creativity to make both a beautiful sunset and a shark hat that looks like a shark attack. During the week, we played a lot of fun sports, such as capture the flag and final four. <strong>Delia</strong><strong> M.</strong> surprised the all sports group with her sneak attack to capture the flag for her team. <strong>Emeric S. </strong>and <strong>Maddie S.</strong> both made it to the final four during our intense game.
