Last Week Announcements

A couple announcements about common questions we've been receiving:

HPR's production of Snow White is this Thursday August 9th at 3pm and everyone is invited! Campers involved in the play, including those not normally scheduled for Thursdays, should plan on arriving in the morning and will then be spending the full day in rehearsal. It is not your responsibility to provide a costume for your camper, but if you have any props or costumes you'd like to bring in you can bring it on Thursday. Please label anything you send to camp so we make sure it gets home! Thank you so much, the entire cast is really excited to share our hard work with you!  If you want to watch the play, you are more than welcome to come and see what the campers have been working on.  We hope to see you here.

HPR's Annual Horse Show Starts at 9am on Friday August 10th. Every camper was invited to participate and those that chose to do so are incredibly excited to share their skills with you. There are a lot of riding games you'll have the opportunity to watch like Simon Says, Extreme Red light Green Light, Barrels and more! Parents are welcome to attend amd take plenty of pictures from outside the riding ring but please no flash photography. We hope to see you for all our fun!

We will have a lot of cars for our big events this week so as you come in to visit just follow the driveway and turn left into the staff parking lot/early pickup area. We'll have more than enough room for everyone!

Hope to see you soon for an exciting end to a great summer!

Week Seven 7/30-8/3

Wow! We can't believe it but we just finished week seven of our summer and there is only one more week left! We spent this week learning about the world from our oldest campers, the LITs. They worked really hard to plan out our theme Friday and they did a fantastic job! Some of their preparation involved listening to stories from some of our counselors that have had experiences abroad. Not only did they learn about many different countries, our LITs and Middle school campers also served the world by volunteering at Feed My Starving Children. HPR packed food to feed over 160 children for an entire year. Way to serve the world HPR!

Our Middle School campers have been enjoying a new morning lesson structure that they are enjoying tremendously. Our counselors have been offering very unique choices for our campers to pick between every morning, we've seen Russian lessons, philosophy discussions, ultimate frisbee, even bird house building. It has been a lot of fun to see our camper's interests growing! Middle School also enjoyed a fantastic trip to Como Zoo and a water park on Friday which was a blast!

We've been filling our last two weeks with tons of exciting trips for every group at camp! Bike trips, overnights, service projects, playing at the beach, and a canoe trip, just to name a few. It has been so much fun to challenge our campers with unique experiences and they have been growing so much from them. Our final traditional camp overnight was a tremendous success, it was a perfect night for camping   with an absolutely gorgeous full moon. What a treat!

Another reminder that the penny wars begin on Monday so save your loose change so we can have fun and help the American Cancer Society! Also they big HPR production of Snow White is Thursday August 9th at 3pm and we would love to share our hard work with you! We hope you are having as much fun this weekend as we have all week! See you on Monday!
