Fort Atkinson Aquatic Center and Carnival Craze!

 On Thursday we went to the Fort Atkinson Aquatic Center and the campers enjoyed every minute of it! The campers went on the slides and some of the older campers jumped off the diving board. They had a great time swimming! Friday's theme was Carnival Craze. The campers created their own ring toss, wrote about their own carnival or festival experience, played at Savannah park, and watched Madagascar 3. It was a wonderful end to the week.

Party in the U.S.A. and Challenge day!

Last week Friday we had Party in the U.S.A. day. The campers wrote about a state they would like to travel to, played a few games, and watched the movie Cars. This week Monday was Challenge day. The campers did a few challenges in the gym and then made straw structures to support different objects that they were given. We also went to the public library and the campers got to sing along with a musician. 

 Through out the summer we are reading the book The Wizard of Oz as a group. We will also be watching the movie and comparing and contrasting the two.

Group reading time on Friday! 

Challenge with cups in the gym.

The campers made straw structures and many of them completed the challenge with flying colors. Here are pictures of the campers creating and testing out their straw creations!
