Dear Parents,

This week at camp was Dr. Seuss week! As you all know, Tuesday is cheer day and our cheer had to rhyme just like Dr. Seuss.  Graham wore a fox mask in our cheer and Ella was a mouse.  We won cheer day and with our win came the responsibility of making our own spirit stick.  Using glitter, finger paint, feathers and drawings of ducks and penguins the campers created a showcase of our artistic talents. Kyle, Lex, and Carter showed our instructors that they are picking up on diving with ease! It sure has been hot this week but for Sport in the gym, Eric, Asha and Alex love to play Q-tip ball.  Nicole, Emily and Leila were engaged in watching a life-like roller coaster experience during a movie in Science.  The zoo came on Thursday and all the kids really enjoyed it.  Friday the campers should wear their camp shirts and be hungry for lots of pizza!  Future Stars will be having Dr. Seuss themed relays in the gym.  We hope to see all of the campers back next week for Dinosaur Week!

Dear Parents,

We had another fabulous week with Stars and Stripes theme! Carter, Dean, Jason, Kyle, Alex and Alex all have been doing excellent during pool time.  They are in the deep end and are advanced swimmers. Lilia and Nicole enjoyed using the parachute in Sport.  Alex and Sophia did great during the relays in Sport where the campers learned how to use teamwork in order to complete the relay. Natalie and Ella have been working hard on their commercials in Hollywood.  In Science, Emily and Asha have learned about electricity using balloons and felt.  Leila, Jordyn and Graham enjoyed learning our cheer on Tuesday to the theme of “Party in the USA”.  Wednesday campers wore Red, White and Blue to show their spirit and Thursday was banana day where we do the banana dance!  Friday we will be having a cookout with lots of yummy food to celebrate the 4<sup>th</sup> of  July! We hope to see all the campers back next week!

Dear Parents,

We had a terrific start to summer with Under The Sea Week at Future Stars! In Art class with Patti the campers made sea themed projects. Natalie, Lilia and Ella drew underwater scenes and used their hands to make octopuses with their hands. Jordyn, Asha and Sophia N. decorated their beach balls with crayons.  Kristen taught the ducks and penguins in Science how a see-saw works and Alex L. and Emily helped build the experiment.

In Sport with Corey, Dean and Carter learned how to use a scooter 3 different ways.  Kyle and Tommy also learned how to dribble a soccer ball.  Sophia R., Eric, Leila and Graham love being in the pool learning how to float on their backs, blowing bubbles underwater and swimming with a kickboard. Alex Watson and Alex Wu have become good friends and like to play Icy Towers in Computer class.

On Friday the camp will have a luau with food and fun!  Make sure the campers wear their white camp t-shirts! We will also watch their videos the campers make in Hollywood for Camp Idol.  We hope to see you on Monday for Stars and Stripes Week!

Your counselors,

Rebecca, Nick and Colin
