Sticky goo!

I like the camp. It is really fun. I learned how to make goo. It was really sticky! - C.D.

Mad Science & 3D Art

I like doing science&3D art. I like sewing for the first time and I like that I'm going to make cotton candy in mad science. I'm excited and when I made a pillow I was proud of myself. I like when I made some bows for everybody. I like making my new silver purse. - M.D.

Week One went by so fast!  We had so much fun with our group of campers.  I have to say how proud I am of them of all the hard work they did and how much they did, and I am also so proud of their good behavior!  I heard "please" and "thank you" from every camper, and so many of the kids were such good helpers!

Here are some pictures from each class we had last week.

Caldwell Week 1: Memories Made at International Ivy

Chatham Week 1: Narrative Writing and Creative Writing

I was nervous stepping out of my dad's truck with juicy, natural cherries in my hand. We head across the gravel parking lot, the sun beating down on my hat. Right next to me my dad was holding the fresh picked mulberries in a tin. We headed in the garage and we set up at a table though we had a rather wobbly bench in the back. I was sweating like crazy in fear I would not sell all my fruit. Surprisingly, I was sold out of mulberries by 10:15 and I arrived at 9:00. I still had two quarts of cherries left. Now, I was sweating like crazy. Just before my dad picked me up at 12:00 I sold one more quart of cherries. We brought the remaining quart of cherries to a friend's dinner party that night. It was a very exciting day.

"I have fun in this summer camp. I make many cute things in 3D crafts. The teacher who teaches mad science showed me fireworks, and we played water balloons. I am happy in this camp." - S.R.

Chatham Week 1: Narrative Writing in Creative Writing

Tiny sparks of light floated away. My marshmallow was slightly burnt and brown. The flames of the fire felt hot on my face. Mmmmm...the marshmallow was fluffy and soft. Then we crawled into our tent to doze off with the sound of nature still ringing in my ears.

My First Time Winning a Trophy
My first time winning a trophy was when I was six years old. I was scared everyone was cheering for me. I wasn't so scared anymore. I knew I could do it. I won third place; I was so proud of myself for all the hard work I did from the classes. I practiced going around the gates. I was encouraged by my mom. My parents were do proud o me and I was too. The race was a little hard, I had to curve my edges in the snow. It was cold and the wind was blowing hard. I felt the know push in my face. Skiing is the best.
