Dear Parents,

Another great week of camp has flown by. This week’s theme at camp was Dr. Seuss. In Hollywood, we acted out scenes from the story <em>Oh the Places You’ll Go,</em> with banners made by Sam, Marisa, Megan, and Veronica. It was Crazy Hat Day on Wednesday, and Elizabeth had the craziest!  In Art, we started our Around the World topics. This week we looked at Japan, and Nicole, Ryan, Mary, and Danielle had a blast making origami. In Sport, Mike Matteo, Tommy, Matt F., and Andrei teamed up with our All Sports group for a fun game of Paul Ball, a Future Stars classic game! Hannah, Dylan, and Matt Cain beat the extreme heat this week by making a splash in the pool.  This week, Future Stars was visited by the zoo on Thursday, and Liz, Sydney, Carly, and Haley loved seeing those cool animals. And of course we all loved Pizza Friday.

Thank you for a great week guys, and we hope to see everyone back!

Dear Parents,

Welcome back to the second week here at Future Stars Day Camp.  This week was Stars and Stripes week and the campers spent time doing patriotic games and activities.  In Art this week the Gators made red, white and blue pinwheels that showed not only their creative side, but also their patriotism.  Rebecca, Veronica, and Hannah all made beautiful pinwheels and had a blast while doing it.  Also, the Gators made fun flag necklaces with red, white and blue beads.  Some of the necklaces that were outstanding were made by Elizabeth, Sophia, and Marissa.

In Sport this week the group played many strenuous games including soccer, waffle-ball, and ultimate Frisbee.  Megan, Julia, Michael, and Matt all showed their athletic abilities and pulled through for their team to win in soccer.  (They may consider joining the US world cup team).

The Gators definitely proved their ability to swim this week in Pool when they competed in a relay race to see who was fastest.  Danielle, Ryan, Danny, and Andrei all did a terrific job and wowed the counselors and pool instructors with their aquatic capabilities.

Hollywood was definitely glamorous this week at Future Stars when the campers got to do a live news show featuring such elements as the weather, breaking news, and some even made some very funny commercials.  Dylan, William, Matt, and Haley made great scripts for their news show including interviews with Justin Bieber possibly Lady Gaga.

Mary, Matt, and Liz all learned about static electricity in Science this week when Kristen, the science instructor, got out balloons everybody observed the different effects static has on balloons and other classroom objects.

This has definitely been a great week here at Future Stars and we hope to see all the campers back next week for Dr. Seuss week!
