Pioneer Power

The PIONEERS were busy as bees during SKY'S THE LIMIT this week at TRIPLE C. The boys made paper airplanes, while the girls were playing musical statues. They learned to play Guard the Gate with ADAM at Sports and Games. Everyone fed the sheep with MARION at the petting zoo. After several rounds of Smaug's Jewels with HANK at the Challenge Course everyone headed to the pool to splash around with DONNA JEN, JENNIFER, AND MAGGIE. The damp weather did not slow things down at Triple C Camp! The Pioneers now look forward to the next week of camp with all the fun and excitement of FRONTIER DAYS.

The Trailblazers tried a little bit of everything during SKY'S THE LIMIT week. Some new games were learned including Trainwreck, Frog on a Lily Pad, Heads or Tails, 500, and Estafette. During Trailblazer Choice Activity Time on Wednesday, the campers chose to participate in activities including climbing the wall with HANK, visiting the petting zoo with MARION, and playing dodgeball and elbow tag with BRAD, JILL, and "THE EDGE" campers. Several groups made paper mache' projects, and everyone got to make collages with DIONNE at Arts & Crafts. All the specialists had new and exciting activities planned including soccer and cricket with ADAM, Director with ASHLEY, and swimming lessons at the pool with DONNA, JEN, JENNIFER, and MAGGIE. The Trailblazers are now preparing for the adventures of FRONTIER DAYS!


Got to Explore...

Sports and Games play LaCrosse
SPORTS & GAMES PLAY LACROSSE

Sky was the limit this week as the Explorers were around camp working on soccer skills, baseball skills, and playing predator and prey in the SPORTS & GAMES group. They also loved learning Lacrosse skills from RICHARD and STEVE, as JESSIE and M.B. led them all over camp on a scavenger hunt. The GREAT OUTDOORS campers hiked Kinsers' Climb and learned about fire safety, which was very useful during their cookout and canoeing Wednesday at Walnut Creek. They finished up the week with a scavenger hunt and a lesson in archery. Making sit-upons, tie dye, and loads of fun was what was in store for the ART & DRAMA campers this week with their counselors LESLIE AND EMILY. The COLT CAMPERS learned a lot at the barn. Their activities included how to tack up the horse, clean their tack, as well as walking across the ring. The week concluded with a bareback lesson. You know those Colt Campers are eagerly awaiting next week and FRONTIER DAYS.


Teen Scene on Tour

WOW! What a week! Teen Scene began and ended the week with choice activities which included Sports and Games, Drama, and a visit with the Animals. They also had the opportunity to experience elements of the Challenge Course. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, Teen Scene were out and about Charlottesville this week. The first stop made this week was at McCormick Observatory. There we had demonstrations on how the giant telescope worked, we even got to touch meteorites (real ones that had come from Outer Space!) After searching the stars we headed under water to FINDING NEMO. Wednesday m morning community service was exciting as we beautified the Skate Park, and sorted at McIntire Recycling Center, then we cooled off in the lake at Walnut Creek. Whilst at Walnut Creek we learned CANOEING with JASON. Thursday saw the TEEN SCENE head to the DOWNTOWN MALL in Charlottesville where everyone participated in a scavenger hunt, after that we CHILLED OUT and skated at the ICE PARK. What a week! So much fun packed in 5 days!! But we can top that next week!


"THE EDGE"


This week "The EDGE" campers got to experience first hand all the fun, work, and rewards of being a Triple C Camp counselor as they observed all around camp this week. They learned new games, and how to teach games both old and new. "The EDGE" campers put their new skills to the test leading Dodgeball and Relay Races during Trailblazer Choice Activity Time on Wednesday. After observing lots of exciting activites in the Pioneer, Trailblazer, and Explorer groups "The EDGE" campers geared up to take a lead with All Camp activites on Friday. During the summer some of what they will learn is: what it takes to make arts and crafts, be a barn counselor, and teach swimming lessons. "The EDGE" campers also swam, hiked, climbed, and enjoyed all the fun aspects of Triple C Camp. The campers are excited to learn more about being counselors and planning activities next week during FRONTIER DAYS.
