Week 3 Flew By

So Week 3 has come and gone and while it went so quickly, we did have time for some awesome moments-
- Our Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Obstacle course was a hit- complete with pits of gobstoppers(or ball pits) and a river of chocolate(or kiddie pools of pudding)! Stay tuned for pictures of this messy challenge.
- Our campers got to try their hand at creating literary masterpieces of their own while creating their own stories and sharing them with their groups.
- Gingerbread houses were created throughout camp and then promptly eaten.
- Our Easy as Pie culinary experts worked their way from s'mores on Monday to Tacos in a Bag and Grilled Corn by Friday.
- Our CIT's became First Aid and CPR certified at Phoenixville and continued to do an awesome job working with various groups around camp.
- Camp STRONG visited us for the first time this summer on Friday- trying out archery for the older campers and a turn in the bouncy castle for the younger ones. Each group swung by arts and crafts to create their group flag which they will display throughout the summer at Roosevelt.
- Sports camp tried their hand at archery as well as they explored Alternative Sports.
- Ecologically friendly crafts were all the rage for Change the World and Teen Leaders.
- Our budding engineers and artists in Useless Inventions took apart everything in their path from computers to microwaves and toys to build robots and sculptures alike.
- When I dream of Michelangelo continued to create some amazing art work while they too looked for supplies wherever possible.
- We sadly bid farewell to Mr. Victor on Friday, as he was flying to New Zealand for a semester abroad on Saturday but we treated him like a king- literally providing him with a crown (albeit made of cardboard), scepter, and cape as he ruled as King of Skits at Thursday's all-camp. While it was sad to see him go, the skits were amazing!!!
Well that's all for us for now- even though it's just a piece of what went on. Keep posted for more pictures and goings-on but for now, we are busily trying to figure out how much cornstarch it will take to have a pool of ooblik big enough to walk on for our 100% Mess Obstacle Course on Thursday afternoon!!! (Don't worry if you're confused about what I just mentioned- there will be pictures.)
