This week has been filled with activities

everyone enjoyed. The Woodworking

Camp spent days working hard on projects.

Buzzer Beaters Camp practiced their techniques with handling the

ball.. The Astronomy Camp spent time learning about outer space &

took a trip down to the Planetarium. Yikes! Insects Camp enjoyed

learning about various types of bugs. The week was action packed!

This week campers learned how to use the dif-

ferent tools & equipment. They hammered, chis-

eled, nailed, sanded & measured a variety of ob-

jects. Students built their own projects & added

their personal touch with paint & designs of

their choice. Through out the course of the

week, campers brought home a lap top board,

hat/tool rack, wall sign & a planter.

**Special thanks to Ace Hardware for providing

the supplies needed to complete the projects.**

Buzzer Beaters

3..2..1.. Bzzzzzz. The final buzzer has

buzzed. In this hooptastic week, campers

played a cornucopia of basketball related

games to improve each camper‟s all-around

game. Each day consisted of skill drills &

warm ups to strengthen abilities. Mini-games

like knock out, bump & around the world

honed our shooting abilities. Each day was a

different full court basketball matchup to

showcase everyone‟s talents & teamwork.

Inside they played table games such

as cups & dime basketball. There were also

themed crafts & brain puzzled. The week spe-

cifically scheduled to coincide with the NBA

draft. Campers learned about the purpose of

the draft, draft prospects & each teams needs

in order to make predictions for the actual

draft with prizes awarded to the best prog-

nosticator.

This week campers went

“far out!” They studied the

solar system, constellations

& even used their imagina-

tions to create their own

aliens. On Tuesday they

visited The Kika Sylvia Pla

Planetarium & took a tour

of the solar system & even

rode a rollercoaster on

Mars! This week has been

“out of this world!”

This week, new faces appeared on the scene. The counselors

helped out in various way & enjoyed working with everyone.

In the Little House this week, campers

painted two-sided butterfly wings they

would wear. They also made butterfly

themed art shown on display in the “big

room.” They learned facts about insects ,

the names of insect body parts & com-

pleted Practical Life work that had insect

manipulative. They enjoyed the class

drawing on giant paper! Everything was a

hit, even to new comers. They are look-

ing forward to next week‟s, Under The

Sea!

This week, campers explored all different kinds

of insects. Keith Willmott, who works at the

University of Florida Natural History Museum

came by & showed them specimens of insects

form Ecuador. They have learned parts of a cat-

erpillar, Sang songs, & read Miles and Miles of

Reptiles. Campers had an amazing time again

with marble rolling. This time they used butterfly

shapes. Overall, they had an awesome week &

finished it with the movie, “It‟s a Bug‟s Life.”

Can‟t wait for Under The Sea next week!
