Double week post about how the beginning of July has been going! We had a great Fourth of July week last week and getting down in the farm this week. During our Party in the U.S.A. week, we had water balloon fights, lawn games such as corn hole, ladder ball, and bocce ball. We made red, white, and blue themed food such as flag frosted graham crackers and frosting dipped strawberries. We also pinned the star on the flag. We moved our field trip to Friday and went to Dragonland Waterpark. The kids had a great time going down the slides there! This week we learned more about barnyard animals and the outdoors in general. We built a tent in the room which was a kid favorite! We also had s'mores for a snack one day. The kids created barnyard animal themed money banks out of milk jugs and used clothespins for legs to make animals of their choice. The kids had a blast at Rockin P' Ranch and learned about horse grooming and got to ride a horse as well! Even the little ones who were scared at first gave it a try and had a great time! Next week, our theme is the Amazing Race! Kids will partner up and participate in road blocks and detours throughout the week and a final activity at the end of the week. We are having out field trip on Monday next week, not our normal Thursday, and are going to a Peoria Chiefs game. We will also be leaving earlier than normal at 11:00. I will also not be here next week and part of the following week, so in my absence Miss Claire and Miss Kelley will be in charge. I have all the confidence in the world they will do a great job! Making patriotic flag graham crackers Fun times at Dragonland Waterpark! Fun times in the tent! SO much fun riding horses!

We traveled all throughout time last week here at Kids Kamp! We started the week off by going al the way back to the Stone Ages. We grew dinosaurs in water, went on a dinosaur hunt, and did some cave art drawings. On Tuesday, we went back to the Roaring 20s. Miss Hannah taught all the kids how to do the Charleston. I don't know who had more fun, her or the kids! The girls made flapper head bands, the boys made fedoras, and everybody enjoyed some mobster mustaches. On Wednesday, we went back to the Renaissance and watched a clip from Peabody & Sherman to learn more about the time, we talked about what being a Renaissance man (or woman) meant, and colored pictures on our backs just like Michelangelo did when painting the Sistine Chapel. On Thursday, we had to design out own time machine in order to blast into the future to the Year 3000! We don't want our world will be like then, but we know one thing for sure: there will still be go karts because that never stops being fun. The kids (and counselors alike) had an amazing time riding dune buggies, bumper boats, go-karts, and playing some mini golf. The week was rounded off by going to the 70s and creating tie-dyed peace signs. Psychedelic man! This week it is Party in the U.S.A. while we celebrate all things America and have loads of classic American fun. Coloring like cave man with caveman art Mobster mustaches from the 20s! Coloring like Michelangelo Bumper boats at Kartville Mini golf!
