BREWSTER DAY CAMP          Newsletter    June 25, 2018         Vol. 37 Issue 10
  
Hello Brewster Day Camp!

Last week, our well-trained staff officially COMMENCED their summer by reuniting and preparing for the 8 weeks of pure excitement and adventure ahead!

During our past week of training, our staff members took special note of the incredible stages of nature that take place on campus and all around the Cape. We were amazed  at how we are so similar to our friends in nature. In particular, we noticed an amazing amount of baby birds inhabiting beautifully crafted nests. These baby birds are ready to COMMENCE their independent lives by flying away from their nests. Interestingly enough, Brewster Day Camp staff and campers are undertaking a very similar challenge!
 
Just like baby birds, staff and campers COMMENCE this Week #1 of camp with excited nerves, positive vibes, and confidence! We hope that you will encourage your camper to fly outside of his/her comfort zone this week and doing something new. By the end of the summer, we will ALL be soaring! See you soon at 3570 Main Street with tons of...

CHGsP!
