Week 8 Update!

 Week 8 Update!

Welcome back! Week 8 has been toasty so far, but we have been cooling off with water games in sports! Campers have enjoyed making "Under the Sea" themed pearler beads and creating their own mermaid, jellyfish, or crab cutouts in their arts and crafts rotations. We enjoyed playing all sorts of rounds of BINGO yesterday, with our customized bingo boards! We played "5 in a row", "four corners", "blackout", and "border" rounds. Today, we made Salt Dough, a play dough-like dough that hardens when baked. Campers had fun playing "pictionary" with their dough before molding it into its final shape. 

Apart from riding up at the barn campers have been learning about how to buy a horse and what you may need to do in order to manage a stable, as well as learning about different "Horse Sports" like dressage, jumping, roping, and barrel racing. We even got to design our own Western show outfits!! For the "Horse Fun" rotation we played horse-themed board games to stay out of the heat and made stall tags for our Hoofbeat horses. Enjoy these smiling faces!

Welcome to Week 8

Welcome to Week 8

This summer is really flying by! We welcomed our new set of campers today, and have loved getting to know everyone. For our "down the hill" rotations everyone enjoyed playing ice breaker games, making their own "Under The Sea" bingo cards to play with later this week, and getting to make their own paper plate aquariums. Up at the barn everyone got to ride, learn how to saddle, groom and tack a horse, what must be done to stay safe around horses, got a tour of the barn, and got to take a picture with one of the horses! We are so excited for the next few days, keep checking back to see your smiling camper!!
