Kids Camp July 2013

We really enjoyed doing kids camp this week! We hope the kids had a good time and want to come back!  The next kids camp is July 22-26! We will have some fun new themes and activities. We hope to see you there!

Day 5: Carnival Day

Carnival day was a big success! The kids loved playing games and earning tickets!

We started off the day with rolling big dice with different activites on it involving a stuffed animal

  

 The kids enjoyed playing present hot potato with tickets inside

 Bowling with water bottles

 The candy bar game was fun, especially for the older kids!

Squirting water into a bucket

 Sponge toss

 Prize table! 

The kids purchased some prizes and goodies with the tickets they earned

Day 4: Detective Day

We started off the day by watching Scooby-Doo

After discovering that the cookies were missing, the kids had a detective training course.

The cookie thief left us a lemon juice message that we decoded by exposing it to heat from the stove. 

 There were also clues left behind (arrows using rocks, footprints in dirt, cookie crumbs, etc.)

 The kids were rewarded with a cookie!

We also let them make their own secret messages with lemon juice.

Day 3: Water Day

The kids enjoyed playing some games with water balloons. 

 Red-light-green-light with water balloons

 Duck, duck, goose with water balloons

The bubble blowers were definitely the kids' favorite activity! We made them using a water bottle and socks.  We got the idea from Housing a Forest

Day 2: Around the World

Because Around the World Day was such a success last year, we decided to repeat it.

 Asia- coloring pages

 Hawaii- dressing up and popsicles

 Africa- safari

 Egypt- making mummies out of the counselors

 Italy- chalk drawing and breadsticks

Mexico- painting maracas 

The kids, and counselors, enjoyed this day yet again!!
