This week in the art barn we had plenty of it! Campers showed off their patriotism and creativity by making red, while, and blue paintings and finishing them off with what else but red, silver, and blue glitter! Later in the week to highlight Space Odyssey we made paper mache planets. They were beautiful! Some even resemble our planet Earth while others were completely imaginary! Next week in the art we will show our spooooky side by making silly monsters! I can t wait to see what the campers come up with!
Red Fish Blue Fish --Danni Campbell & Becky Early This week the red and blue fish have had tons and tons of fun. In group time we play lots of games. on Monday we played silent speed ball with introductions of everyone as well as Indian chief.

Thursday was space odyssey and Riley and Megan had fun making UFO s through out the week to make a movie on Thursday with their UFO s. Friday was Wilderness Safari Party and the campers got to enjoy the day in the wilderness. Through out the week they got to make patriotic paintings in art and played different game shows through out the week. Wacky Science --Robert McNeill Campers in Wacky Science started off this week learning about their own fingerprints. We inked our fingers with graphite from a pencil, and pressed them onto the paper, revealing what type of finger print each camper had. On Tuesday, campers made paper airplanes, although one might not have guessed that s what they were The seemingly inauspicious cylinders of paper zipped through the air with alarming velocities: what curious aerodynamics! After our break on Wednesday, (Happy Independence Day, everyone!) each age group made their own building out of gummies and tooth picks, seeing for themselves the effects of stress and tension throughout a network of such materials. Word Up! --De Andre Tyrone Molock This week in word up was the best week ever. We had a huge staff scavenger hunt Monday. The campers really enjoyed that. Tuesday thru Friday we have been working on our Pen pal letters. Our letters will be going up to New Jersey with Anthony. Anthony works here a camp and is very well known. The best part about this week is how many campers come up to me and tell me they want to do word up again. I really can t wait to see what is in store for next week.
Cranium Busters --Johnathan Wilkins I hope everyone had an amazing fourth of July! All of the campers enjoyed our fourth of July day that we had on Tuesday the 3rd. We had a parade which including campers, for the campers, by the campers. This week was a bit different for the Cranium Busters group because of the day off we had in the middle of the week. Taking a step back to talk about Monday now. All of the campers were to build a tower out of toothpicks... and marshmallows!!! Talk about a sticky situation. All of them loved the challenge and the marshmallows that they could eat after they were done building their towers. I also had a little chocolate for the campers that couldn t eat or didn t want to eat the marshmallows. Tuesday was shortened a bit because of the fourth of July festival that we had going on that day so we played different games in the classroom or had the campers finish up with their toothpick towers. On Thursday the campers and I played a game called inception named after the movie. In groups I had the campers draw a maze with a time restriction. The idea is to draw a maze in a certain amount of time and pass it to a group who has twice that amount of time to solve the maze. Overall it was another great week in camp as well as cranium busters. I can t wait til next week! Game Show Studio --Brent Jansen This has been another good week at camp. We had an amazing parade and a fantastic concert! I think this week has been my favorite so far, and I think the campers are thinking the same thing. This week in Game Show, we have done 20 Questions, Wheel of Fortune Dance --Liana Stiegler Week 3 brought campers with lots of energy to the dance studio! Setting Sail and One Fish Two Fish burned off some steam by dancing to ABC. They also enjoyed playing musical mats, mirrors (a follow the leader game), alphabet ball, and pretending to be wild safari animals on Friday. Red Fish Blue Fish rocked dancing to Bye Bye Bye, while Marlins, Dolphins, and Sharks learned a dance to What Makes You Beautiful. All three groups took a break from dancing to play blob tag and charades. (without a wheel), Family Feud (a camp favorite), and Who wants to be a Millionaire. So far things have gone great! I really hope the campers feel the same way as I do and I hope the summer will continue to be filled with fun!!!
Art Attack --Helena Beckstead This week in Art Attack, we started the week off with crazy hat and hair day! The campers made crazy hats and hair-but not on their own heads. They made self portraits on plates, then added yarn, glitter, sequins, feathers to thier hair. On Tuesday, July 4 Ever, everyone got ready for barbecuing with their families by making sparklers. The best part? The tops were removable, and could be put on toothpicks and skewers for a festive dinner for Wednesday! When everyone returned for Thursday, it was Space Odyssey, the most anticipated activity of the week Space Robot Making! Using aluminum foil and their imaginations, campers made their own space creatures. Friday, to better see the wild animals on Wild-erness Safari Day, campers made binoculars to search for that rare bird, or even spot a giraffe! It was a wonderful week in Art Attack, and I m excited to see everyone again next week! Gottcha... Photo Gallery!!
