The Hawks had another fun week at camp as we pretended to be down the shore.  All of our activities were based on the beach.  In science we created an awesome jellyfish habitat with some plastic water bottles, cut up plastic bags, and some food coloring.  <span style="color: #ff6600;">Ryan V</span>. and <span style="color: #ff6600;">Ava M.</span>'s jellyfish came out awesome and they really enjoyed the activity.  In Hollywood we made a commercial for Ocean City New Jersey.  <span style="color: #ff6600;">Jerry G.</span> and<span style="color: #ff6600;"> Leah C.</span> came up with some fantastic ideas and the final product looked amazing.  Then in game we played Sharks and Minos.  The group had a fantastic time and <span style="color: #ff6600;">Julia G.</span> and<span style="color: #ff6600;"> Charlotte A.</span> were really able to showcase there speed and talent.  In pool<span style="color: #ff6600;"> Hannah P.</span> was able to lead the way and really show us all of her swimming talent.  For our sports period we teamed up with the Gopher group in order to make a larger game. <span style="color: #ff6600;"> Lukas M.</span> was able to conquer both groups in knock-out and was the overall champion.  In art we created many beach themed projects. <span style="color: #ff6600;"> Dean R.</span> always has a great time with these and was able to enjoy each one to the fullest.  Finally, this week was another strong week for the campers.  However, above everyone else we had to choose one camper as our camper of the week.  This week <span style="color: #ff6600;">Eric B.</span> earned the honors.  He was able to do everything that was asked of him and responded well to every event this week.  He did a great job with every scenario presented and had a blast the entire time.  We look forward to seeing everyone next week!
