Week Three 2013

With only three days this week, we worked hard to pack as much fun and excitement into each day as possible.  By the looks of many campers and counselors alike at the end of the day today, it seems we have succeeded! :)

Campers experienced many Fourth of July-themed activities this week, including creating liquid "fireworks" at Science, writing our own HPR Constitution, and creating our own American flags.  In addition to these holiday activities, many campers were able to ride horses out into the pasture this week (a change of scenery for both the campers AND the horses!), participate in NASCAR races around the mound, and continue the exhilarating hunt for even more fairies around camp! 

The LIT campers, well-rested after last week's overnight, visited Feed My Starving Children on Tuesday and prepared enough meals to feed 75 children one meal a day for a year!  The LITS also spent Wednesday with the Kindergarteners preparing fake snot as a part of their health-themed week.

The Middle School campers visited Good Samaritan on Wednesday and participated in many off-site bike trips to canoeing and nearby parks for sports activities like speedball.  Lucky for the rest of us, they also cooked extra banana coffee cake for many of us to enjoy in the garage!

As mentioned above, the Kindergarteners participated in many health-related activities this week and searched for germs all over camp!  They participated in a scavenger hunt for "good" and "bad" foods, handed out "glitter germs" and then finished off the week getting cleaned off in human bubbles.

We sent off the campers with a camp-wide line dance to Bruce Springsteen's "American Land" on the tennis court and are excited to see what next week has in store!

Have a safe Fourth of July and we'll see you next week!
