<h1><span style="color: #33cccc;">Carnival Week</span></h1>
<span style="color: #000000;">Carnival week was a fun and eventful week for the ducks. All week they participated in various games that are involved in carnivals. Every duck had a fun time doing it. <strong>Mason Rose</strong> had the highest score in the bean bag toss. The counselors were extremely impressed. Since clowns are very much involved in carnivals, we made up a game where the ducks had to stick the sticker perfectly on the clowns nose with a blind fold on. <strong>Jenna Morrison</strong> was the only duck to perfectly place the sticker on the clowns nose. We had a new camper this week named <strong>Gianni Perretta</strong>. He was such a great swimmer and had a great time in the pool.<strong> Maggie Meglio, Delania nd Marlena Sine, and Sarah Phillips</strong> all did a great job in rainbow tag by unfreezing their friends. A few weeks ago <strong>Chase Kerskey </strong>won camp freeze tag. He still holds that title because this week we played freeze tag and he won once again. He is quit the dancer. The three boys, <strong>Thomas Egner, Tommy Rush, and Caden Slinger</strong>, teamed together to get out the ducks in sharks and minos.  No one could get by them. Even though </span><strong>Caroline Suter </strong><span style="color: #000000;">and <strong>Lauren Prest </strong>were only here for a fews days, they still had a lot of fun in art. They had such great ideas for their sculptures. This week was a lot of fun and we are glad that the ducks enjoyed it. Have a great weekend !</span>

The first week of camp went great for the Duck/Panda group.  We had so much fun, and they all stuck out in their own special way.  <strong>Markus Janda</strong> had tons of fun drawing what he knew about science.  In soccer, no one could kick the ball past <strong>Caroline Suter,</strong> who was a great goalie.  On Caroline’s team for soccer, there was one girl who was a scoring machine, and it was <strong>Lauren Prest.  Thomas Egner</strong> had tons of fun in the pool jumping in by himself, and getting all of the counselors wet with his splashes.  While in Hollywood this week, we did a lot of dancing, and <strong>Dominic Varacallo</strong> showed everyone his best moves.  <strong>Caden Slinger </strong>showed off his knowledge by finishing a puzzle during Hollywood in record time.  While reading Dr. Seuss books, <strong>Vincent Janda</strong> helped the instructor by giving his predictions.  During four square, <strong>Tommy Rush</strong> showed that he can throw the ball by giving perfect serves to the other kids.  <strong>Marlena Sine </strong>hit a home run in wiffle ball to lead all of her duck friends to victory.  <strong>Sarah Phillipps </strong>had a fun time in computers typing and making a magic wand in art.  In wiffle ball you couldn’t even see <strong>Delaina Sine </strong>when she was running the bases.  Each week we pick a camper of the week out of each group, and this week it was <strong>Mason Cole Rose</strong>.  Mason was a great listener and always tried his best in every game.  We are looking forward to see everyone next week for another fun time.
