Bye-bye Friends Together, Hello Hawaii! Our vacation in Hawaii was so much fun!! In order to be ready for our Luau Party, we had a fun jewelry party and created Lei’s!! In addition to designing our pretty jewelry, we made some delicious pineapples, and “grew” palm trees for decoration. Water play became so much more fun as we added a Slip ‘N’ Slide and a turtle sprinkler! We cannot wait to take a dive into the water next week as we learn all about life under the sea!
Our garden is growing daily. Everyone loves to water and guess about just how high our vegetables will grow. Coach Carbone has special games and sports skills every day for our campers. We are looking forward to adding this physical activity curriculum to our weekly time outside and in the gym starting in September will keep you posted.
