Helping Hands and The Children's Museum

Wednesday's theme was Helping Hands. The campers participated in many activities that taught them how to give back to their community. During computer time they visited the web cites: iCivics (http://www.icivics.org/games/activate) and Free Rice (http://freerice.com).  They also created place mats for the senior citizens who come to the luncheon at the DCC on Thursdays. Campers were also able to donate food to the Deerfield Food Pantry. 

On Thursday the campers got to explore the Children's Museum in Madison. Thank you to who all chaperoned!
