Dear Parents,

The campers had a great time this week enjoying Doctor Seuss themed activities and art projects. In Sport Harrison, Sofia, Cooper, Matt, Olivia, Isabella, Christian, and Ashley had a great time playing soccer. Quinn, Chloe, Grace, and J’anaya created lots of nifty crafts in Art. The kids had a great time in pool and Jonathan, Katelyn, Michele, and Olivia improved their skills in many ways. Nadia, Giana, Erica, Talia, Clio, and Samantha had fun learning about animals when the zoo came to camp.     Justin had a great time playing knock out this week. Brinda, Cecilia, Ryann, and Caroline had making their Doctor Seuss video during Hollywood.

Dear Parents,

It has been another exciting week at camp! This week was stars and  stripes week in honor of our country’s birthday this Sunday. Throughout  the week we participated in various USA themed activities. In art, we  made bald eagle door hangers as well as USA necklaces. We also made our  very own fireworks with paint and glitter. The theme is science this  week was aviation and static electricity. In the future stars experiment  lab, we used balloons, shreds of paper, and pieces of wool to give us  insight into how static electricity works. We also were able to watch a  movie on the start of aviation. We learned a lot about the Blue Angels  and how they train to do their gravity defying stunts. In Hollywood we  had the opportunity to make our very own news cast. While other groups  at camp worked on their segments for the show, the dragons were  responsible for the commercials. Groups of dragons teamed up to let  other campers know the latest and greatest in vacuums, sneakers and even  sunglasses. On Thursday we took some time out of our busy production  schedule for a little R&amp;R in the parking lot with sidewalk chalk. In  the pool, our instructors Brianna and Sally helped the dragons work on  knee dives and treading water.  In sport, we honored the world cup by  practicing our best soccer moves. We also competed in kickball, relay  races and even learned some more about hula hooping. Our culminating  event for the week is our 4th of July barbeque. We enjoyed s’mores, hot  dogs, and watermelon while we watched our newscast. We hope everyone had  a great time at camp and we hope to see you back next week!

Dear Parents,

We had a very exciting first week at camp. This week’s theme was Back to the Beach week, with a camp wide Luau as the culminating event. In Art, we made a few different beach themed projects including necklaces and paper ships.  In Hollywood, each of the groups picked a different song to make a music video to. The Dragons chose “Surfin’ USA” by The Beach Boys. The group came up with some rockin’ dance moves for our video and it turned out great! Our new Sport instructor, Corey, helped teach us how to safely play on scooters, learn how to jump rope, and polish up our soccer skills. This week in pool each of the campers were tested on swimming skills to decide what level they fell into. We also worked on perfecting our freestyle with big kicks and full strokes. As Future Stars Scientists, we experimented with surface tension. We also took nature walks in the grove and watched Under the Sea videos to learn more about the world we live in. On Tuesday of this week, we came up with a fantastic cheer. Although we didn’t win, everyone did a great job coming up with lyrics and performing them in front of the camp! We hope everyone had a good week and we can’t wait to see you again next week!

To the tune of “Under the Sea” in The Little Mermaid

Under the sun, under the sun,

Everything’s better down where it’s wetter,

We love to have fun!

All day at camp we love to play

While our parents work all day

While we are cheering,

Everyone’s hearing!

Under the sun!
