Week One: June 23 –June 27 “Roxaboxen” This week of camp is based on a book by Alice McLerran, called “Roxaboxen”.

This is a story about a group of children who were given nothing but boxes and

rocks, and through their imagination created a city. The children this week

will be creating their own city. Each child, or group of children, will be

encouraged to use their imagination to decorate boxes to represent “a store”.

They will then bring in items from home to sell in their “stores”. Money is not

necessary, as the children will search for gold rocks at the beginning of the

week that they will use to purchase items at the “stores”. This is lots of fun

and it is great to see the children use their imaginations and interact with one

another. THEY WILL LOVE IT!!

Week Two: June 30- July 4 Science The children will have an amazing start to summer camp by exploring

how much fun science can be. Tuesday we will have a planetarium

brought in where the children learn about space. Other activities

include a bungee run to show potential vs. kinetic energy, a giant

hamster ball to show centripetal/centrifugal force and acceleration,

chocolate melting fun, ice blocking to learn about friction, and much

more!

Week Three : July 7 - July 11 Nature and Animal This year our nature week will be one that will not be forgotten. During the

week we will have a visit from the Reptile Man and all his unique friends.

Other events include planting a garden, nature walks, and fun time at the

park with ice sledding, and much more. All art projects will be centered on

plants and nature. On Wednesday we will be going on a field trip to the

“Thousand Oaks’ Botanical Gardens.”

Week Four: July 14 – 18 Wild and Crazy This week is full of crazy games, contest, and wild activities. A couple

of those activities include water balloon, Nerf, and color wars! This

weeks’ field trip we are heading over to “Laser Tag Extreme” in Simi

Valley on Wednesday. (We will have the color war Friday so bring

clothes you don’t mind getting dirty)

Week Five: July 21-July 25 Cooking and Manners The children will have the opportunity to express themselves through

cooking. They will not need lunch this week since we will be preparing

our own lunches each day. Throughout the week the children will learn

how to set a table, greet one another, and sit properly at a table using

table manners. Lunch will be prepared and served to the parents on

Friday at noon.
