As many of you know, Week Five was a HOT one! In order to stay cool, we had a lot of waterslides, water balloon fights, car washes, and installed our special video camera at the drinking fountain to monitor how many times campers filled up their bottles! ;)
Highlights of Week Five for Traditional Camp included cooking over the fire at Nature Camp Craft, creating reactions at Science, playing hockey for Sports Field and passing a ton of levels at Tennis! Additionally, our afternoon activities gave kids plenty of great opportunities to spend time with their counselors and fellow campers. We held a spa day and gave campers blue facials, went on trail rides around the trails at HPR, and exploded pop bottles with Mentos!
The Kindergarten campers experienced plenty of "Wet and Wild" activities of their own as they spent time with the LIT campers "fishing" in the ocean and making rainbow fish out of computer discs and colored foam.
The Middle School campers made Hobo dinners over the fire, canoed on the St. Croix in preparation for their big canoe trip during Week Six, and constructed a "Mission Impossible" obstacle course that they led blindfolded campers through!
The LITs made tie blankets to donate to the Children's Hospital and spent a lot of time working with their younger camper groups during morning rotations and group time. As always, they enjoy their time spent with the Kindergarten campers and are looking forward to this coming Friday, which they are in charge of planning!
We ended the week with a Lumberjack themed-Friday. We flipped pancakes, raced to pound nails into stumps, played on wooden skis for team building, and learned how to tie a timber hitch to haul wood!
We also had our own Lumberjack Day Parade! The floats were incredible and the competition was fierce!
As we begin Week Six, we cannot believe we already have to say goodbye to a few two week campers. We're excited the heat index is a liiiitle better this week and are already gearing up for Bonkers on Friday!
