The morning started off fantastic. The sun was shining and the campers were ready to start the day. Stephanie took a small group of campers over to Jack and Carol's garden for a tour. One of the campers said that his favorite activity was planting the basil pots! Another group of campers went out to the shelter with Josh and Laura. They are making great progress and the foundation is almost built. Tammy and I had a group of campers making tie dye! The campers each got a t-shirt and a bandana to design. They are eager to see the outcome! All tie the creations will be sent home with the campers tomorrow. After tie dye, some campers worked on their birdhouses and also on their paracord bracelets. All the crafts are looking great!
Lunch came quickly and the campers were hungry. After lunch, a group of campers had a soccer game and some played games in the grass. During quiet time, the kids sanded their blocks and worked on their paracord bracelets.
During the first block, after lunch, the campers played hacky sac with Josh and his co-teacher Christina. They had a ton of fun practicing new moves around the circle. Some campers went on short hikes and continued working on their tie dye projects. The shirts came out amazing and the campers did a great job working on them. A small group of campers also worked on string bracelets on the porch.
In the second afternoon block the campers worked on string art in the barn with Tammy and Josh. Some of the campers made designs that included their initials, animals and interesting geometric shapes. Laura and Stephanie had a fun group on the porch working on string bracelets and also drawing. It was very calming! A group of campers also played a great match of soccer.
We can't believe tomorrow is already Friday! Thank you to our alumni, Lesia and Ellie for their assistance today!
