<span style="color: #800080;">Camper of the Week (July 11-15th): Aidan Barber</span>

<strong> Monday:</strong>

The start of the new week brought us some new friends and the return of many of our old friends!  The Pandas / Ducks 1 campers were eager to get started this morning!  We began with a fun game of "Red Light, Green Light" and had many laughs throughout the game.  Creativity was flowing in art today!  Sculptures and Spin Art were the fun projects that your Pandas / Ducks 1 kids were able to create in art.  It was fun to see all the different things the kids made out of the clay.  It was also great to see them so excited about what their Spin Art masterpieces looked like after they spun around in the machine.  The pictures were beautiful!

Later on, we went to Hollywood where we are beginning to work on our music video to the tune of.... "Old McDonald".  By the end of the week, your Pandas/Ducks 1 campers will have performed this tune with movements... on video!

During science, we learned about fire safety and got to watch a video about all sorts of interesting equipment that firefighters use to fight fires.  We really enjoyed seeing the "Water Bomber Planes".   We learned that they are special planes that pour out a lot of water onto big forest fires.

We all had an exciting first day of the new week and are looking forward to the many exciting things happening around camp this week!  Tomorrow (Tuesday) we will get to see a Reptile Show.  On Wednesday, we will have Art Patrol and on Thursday we will have Music Patrol!  We have such a fun-filled week ahead of us!

<strong>Tuesday:</strong>

Pandas / Ducks 1 campers started the day off with some puzzles, books and games in the special Panda Room!  They enjoyed listening to stories read to them as well as playing various board games.  Shortly after, we went into the gym to experience the Reptile Show!  It was truly a fun learning experience for all in attendance.  Seeing snakes, a taranchula, a hedgehog, a gekko and a slew of other critters up close was exciting.... and scary (for some!) to say the least. 

The pool was very refreshing on this hot day and we got to splash and kick our feet!  We are working hard each day to become more confident in the pool and it is definitely showing!  Your Pandas / Ducks 1's are really doing great on these skills!

Computers was fun today. We got to play Earth Day games on pbskids.org and play a fun "Curious George" and "Dinosaur Train" game.  After our computer fun, we got to play sports! 

After sports, the whole camp gathered together in the gym to perform our group cheers.  We had fun performing and watching the other groups' cheers!Tomorrow will bring some Art Patrol fun our way and we can't wait!
