Anything Goes and Record Breaking Day

On Tuesday the campers were able to pick out activities that they wanted to do since the theme was Anything Goes. They got to play bingo and choose a prize when they won. During Math the campers were given choices of math games to play. In the gym they were able to play whatever games they wanted to. During craft time the campers made mosaics of their choosing. The theme on Wednesday was Record Breaking day. The campers were given challenges to complete and records to break. In the computer lab the campers played logic games and recorded their best scores. They were put into teams to complete the penny boat challenge, an obstacle course, and a telephone challenge. Our camera died during the day so we could not take pictures of some of the challenges.
