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!

Your counselors,

Dan and Cristina
