We definitely took advantage of the beautiful weather this past week at HPR and filled our days with as much excitement as possible! Concluding the week with our Overnight and the Camper Variety Show reminded us of how lucky we are to be able to hang out with such fun, talented, and creative kids. As we say goodbye to a few campers this week, we are hoping they have enjoyed their time here at HPR and we look forward to seeing them again next summer.
Traditional camp spent Week Four making pizzas at Nature Camp Craft, passing levels at horses, learning drills and playing games of basketball, and making scientific observations in the chicken coop.
Our resident game maker, Matt F, who brought us the Hunger Games, has worked his magic again and created the Colosseum. This large afternoon game involved canoes, dodge balls, a go-cart, face paint, and plenty of exhausted campers and counselors!
The Middle School program did something special this past week as campers rotated between our 4 counselors and participated in smaller, more specific activities. Highlights include 3-D drawing, map-making, learning about New Orleans and Mardi Gras, and yard games. The boys of the MS program also visited Good Samaritan and created their own programming for this visit.
The LIT campers spent much of their week working with the traditional campers, as they were scattered around camp to lend a hand and learn about the joys and difficulties of being a camp counselor. Additionally, they built birdhouses with the Kindergarten campers as a part of their buddy program.
The Kindergarteners spent this week learning about animals. They were decked out in safari vests, made out of paper grocery bags, and safari hats, from a paper bowl and plate, and found monkeys and gorillas all over camp! They also worked with the LITs and built birdhouses, as mentioned above.
We finished out our week with an "On Broadway" theme Friday and the Camper Variety Show. We saw talents like singing, dancing, gymnastics, and musical instruments.
We are excited to greet new faces this week and are looking forward to a stellar Week Five!!
