We're Halfway There!

We cannot believe that we are halfway through the camp season! This week campers took "a ride down the log flume", as it was water week here at Camp Summer Fun.  Campers created and participated in a variety of under the sea themed crafts and activities.  

On Wednesday campers watched a play entitled Greedy Gracie Share the Happy.  Be sure to ask your camper what his or her favorite part was!  Since we were entertained with a play on Wednesday, we held Elective Wednesday on a Friday.  Campers were able to chose from NINE different electives including Winter Wonderland in July, Extreme Kickball, Dance Party, Home Run Derby, Knockout Tournament, Boxball Competition, Waterballoon Wars, A Day at the Spa and Music Video Making. Check out the pictures from some of them below:

A Day at the Spa





Music Video Making


Not only were campers busy with electives this afternoon, campers were busy in the morning at our all camp meeting in which Music Matt and Sports Mike sang Under the Sea.  Then, after campers were introduced to our electives, the specialists and counselors led campers  in one of our favorite under the sea themed dances shown in the video below:



But wait... there's more! After the all camp meeting campers were surprised with more entertainment: Magic Dave!  Magic Dave amazed the campers with tricks of illusion and some mind reading.  Assistant Director, Isabella, assisted Magic Dave by opening a 300 page book to a random page and choosing one word.  Even she could not believe it when he guessed the right word, "coffeehouse".  








TIE DYE NEXT WEEK!
Next week art specialist, Marisa, will be Tie Dying T-Shirts with your campers in preparation for the Camp Color War which takes place during week 6.  If you would like to make one please sent in a white T-Shirt in a Zip-loc bag with his or her name and group number on it.  You can also write their name on the tag or collar. We will send the shirt home when it is done!




As a reminder, next week's theme will be "Around the World" in which we will start the week off on Monday with Crazy Hat Day.  We look forward to seeing what sort of crazy hats your campers come in with!
