"Making Friends and Having Fun!"
This week, we’re celebrating friendship!  Come join us for a week filled with fun activities to help us make new friends at camp! We'll play friendship games, make friendship bracelets, and explore how being kind and caring makes our friendships grow. Our STEM activity will involve building a "Friendship Bridge" using blocks in teams. In sports, we’ll play games like “Friendship Relay,” where we pass the ball to our partner, and “Circle of Friends,” a team game that focuses on cooperation.Together, we’ll learn the magic of sharing, helping, and having fun as a team.

Week 2: Beach at Camp & Under the Sea (Pirates)

"Pirates, the Ocean, and More!"
This week, we’re bringing the beach to camp and diving deep under the sea! We’ll sing beachy tunes and move like pirates and sea creatures in our weekly Dance classes. In STEM, we’ll learn about marine life, design our own boats and test which materials float best. Our sports activities will include pirate games and fun challenges inspired by the beach and the sea. It’s a week full of ocean exploration, movement, and teamwork! July 3rd is Beach at Camp Day in all divisions.

Week 3: The Jungle Book

"Exploring the Jungle"

This week, we’ll swing into the jungle for some wild adventures!  We’ll dance to rhythms inspired by the jungle and mimic animal movements like slithering like snakes or leaping like kangaroos. We'll also explore animal tracks, learning about the animals that roam the jungle! In sports, we’ll play “Jungle Animal Tag,” where each child imitates a jungle animal as they run, and “Jungle Obstacle Course,” where children leap over logs, crawl under vines, and balance on “stones” to avoid jungle dangers. Let’s have an adventurous week exploring the wild!

Week 4: To the Moon and Back

"Exploring Space!"
3... 2... 1... Lift off!  This week, we’re heading to outer space for an out-of-this-world adventure. We'll blast off on rocket ships, float like astronauts, and even make our own alien antennae! We’ll dance like astronauts in space to the tune of “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star,” practicing floating through the air and pretending to walk on the moon. In STEM, we’ll build simple rockets using straws and paper, then launch them to see how far they fly—testing different designs for the best “launch.” It’s going to be a week full of discovery as we explore space through movement, creativity, and play!

Week 5: Camp-osaurus

"A Dinosaur Adventure"

Roar into a week full of prehistoric fun! We’ll make dino crafts, dino-hunting binoculars, and play dino-themed games like a T-Rex tag! In our STEM activities, we’ll go on a “Dino Dig,” using sandboxes and small shovels to uncover “fossils.” In sports, we’ll play “Dinosaur Egg Relay,” where kids pass “dinosaur eggs” (balls) to each other without breaking them. Join us as we learn all about these magnificent creatures that once roamed the Earth. It’s a dino-mite week full of stomping, roaring, and unforgettable adventures!

Week 6: Birthday Party!

"Celebrating Every Day!"

It’s a party every day this week!  Whether it’s your birthday or not, we’ll celebrate with fun games, party hats, and birthday treats all week long.

We’ll make our own party decorations, share birthday stories, and play party games all week. It’s a celebration of fun, friends, and lots of cake!

Week 7: Creepy Crawly Critters 

"Exploring the World of Bugs and Reptiles"

This week, we’ll get up close with the fascinating world of creepy crawly critters!  In STEM, we’ll learn about the science behind bugs and reptiles and even go on a bug hunt. Our sports activities will be critter-themed games that help us move like the animals we’re learning about. We’ll also create simple “bug jars” filled with “bug” items (using plastic insects and natural elements like twigs). It’s a week of discovery and fun as we explore these amazing creatures. We’ll play insect games, make bug crafts, and maybe even get a visit from some real-life creepy crawlers!
