Camp highlights from week seven

Caring Campers

This week campers learned about the true heroes in our world and got the chance to share their ideas about places and people that are close to their hearts. They also learned about the needs in our local community, how others are supporting those needs, and how they might be able help, too 

 Read on for this week's highlights.

Art and Craftmania
Projects themed around love and family
Tissue Paper Flowers - Campers made tissue paper flowers to give to someone that they care about.

Clay Hand Dish - We used clay to make dishes. They traced their hands in the clay, then cut it out. After that they used toothpicks to add their own design.

Pop Art Handprint - We used lots of color in this activity. They cut out their hand prints with different color paper then placed it on another colored sheet. After that we placed painted handprints over the cutouts.

Rainbow Scratch Paper - The kids drew someone they loved in the paper.

FAVORITE ACTIVITY: Everyone loved the scratch paper. They also loved using paint to make their handprint.

Fit Kids
Soccer, kickball, and knock-pin-dodge
We played soccer with the rule that there could only be a minimum number of passes to ensure better teamwork.

We also played kickball and knock-pin-dodge.

FAVORITE ACTIVITY : Kickball
Science
Silly putty slime and invisible ink
We made silly putty slime and wrote invisible ink thank you cards for our loved ones.

FAVORITE ACTIVITY : While the kiddos enjoyed making slime, they really loved writing the invisible ink thank you notes. They seemed dazed that it worked so well.

QUOTE: Many expressed that they did not believe that the project would work but after we actually worked through it, I got a lot of "Oh, cool! It did work!" but more "Can I make more?!"
Legos

The kids created Lego cities throughout the week. They made very detailed cities and designed them as they would want their city to be if they could create their own.

FAVORITE ACTIVITY:
Seeing all of the different ideas each camper had come together into one large camp city.

Supporting Our Local Communities

Here are just some of the ways we were involved in helping to support our local communities last week:

• Campers made bunny toys to donate to a local pet shelter.

• We made bracelets out of cut up straws and dough beads to donate to a good cause.

• Campers built bags filled with school supplies for a local school. They also each wrote a note to put inside the bag wishing them a great school year. 

Thanks to all!
