Pioneer Power
This week the Pioneers explored FRONTIER DAYS all over camp. From Pony rides to totem poles at nature with CATHY, our week was a reflection of the days of old. DIONNE helped everyone to make sheriffs badges in Arts & Crafts. With MARION, the Animal Specialist, the Pioneers learned about the ferrets, rabbits and rats and what type of feed they need. While at the Challenge Course we just couldn't get enough of the great games with HANK. Many of the Pioneer groups made great Frontier type items such as headbands, vest, tee pees and beaded items. We had a great week and are ready to get patriotic next week with RED WHITE & YOU!!
Trailblazers were learning this week about all the adventures of FRONTIER DAYS. This week they built log cabins, made flags to play Dutch capture the flag, made Native American head bands and vests, and decorated bandannas. Trailblazer choice offered up horseback riding, sports & games, Crafts, Nature and of course time on the Challenge Course Climbing Wall. The campers also learned several new games including Mingle Mingle, Freeze Dance, and loads of parachute games. They made journals in Arts & Crafts with DIONNE, played Blindfold Journey with ASHLEY in Drama, and made Fish Prints with Cathy in Nature, and had lots of fun splashing around in the pools after swim lessons with JEN, DONNA, and MAGGIE. Everyone is ready to go with more fun next week during RED WHITE &YOU!
This week the Explorers learned new games and activities as a part of FRONTIER DAYS. Sports & Games campers learned new games including Kick the Can, Handball, and Street and Roads. They had plenty of time to make journals with DIONNE, caste animal tracks with MARION, and visit the Nitro and TP Shuffle with Hank on Charlottesville's Challenge Course. The Art and Drama campers learned how to play flood, floor hockey, and lots of water games to keep them cool all week long. They devoted lots of time to presentations for Roundup, and they finished strong with phenomenal Friday theatrics. Great Outdoors took on a project beatifying the campgrounds. They worked long and hard this week learning about trail clearing and putting all of their new skills to work cleaning up Kinser's Climb with SAM! They enjoyed their weekly campfire cookout making lunch over an open fire. Colt Campers learned about bathing as well as trimming manes and tails. In the ring everyone worked to improve their seat and position by working with no stirrups and riding bareback. Everyone is excited about next week and RED WHITE & YOU!
The Teen Scene got off to a great start this week at camp with amazing Choice Activities such as Swimming, time at the Petting zoo with MARION, Nature with CATHY, Soccer with ADAM, Trail Clearing, Arts and Crafts with DIONNE and Floor Hockey with GINNY. There was also Horseback Riding, and Challenge Course time! Keeping Busy for sure! Tuesday the Teens traveled to the FRONTIER MUSEUM and then dined al fresco at Gypsy Hill Park. Wednesday's Community Service was a blast as trails of the Greenbelt Parkway were cleared by our campers and items Recycled at McIntire Center. Thursday the group climbed the mountains of Sugar Hollow and refreshed in natural spring pools. Then they went to the more Urban waters of Washington Park Pool. Friday was back to Triple C for Choice activities and the finale of the week the ALL CAMP EXTRAVAGANZA and our special visitors the VIRGINIA REELERS!! We had an amazing week and can't wait for the fireworks of Week 4!!
This week "The Edge" campers polished their skills in leading activities. We focused on diversity and learning new activities, and Wednesday we put our skills to work during Trailblazer Choice Activity Time. "The Edge" campers learned a lot about all the aspects of camp with a fabulous scavenger hunt on Tuesday. "The Edge" campers have learned that every activity takes a lot of planning and they put their planning skills to the test this week by planning a group field trip for Friday. "The Edge" campers went to The Berry Patch in the morning to relax and pick berries. In the afternoon we headed off to the movie theatre to watch "Finding Nemo" (as "The Edge" campers claimed they need to know what the younger campers are watching and talking about… yeah right!! They just wanted an excuse to see a great Disney Flick). It was a great Friday afternoon full of fun activities planned, researched and organized by the group. Another fine week of learning and fun for "THE EDGE".
