One Done

Wow, it's hard to believe the first week of camp is done! This week has been crazy busy with so much going on...but it's also been great.

So I thought I'd give you a little peek into the world of Camp Senda from this past week through this post.

Overall the week went great. We had a few hiccups along the way but everything seemed to just work out in the end.

Monday and Tuesday we stayed mostly in the building, getting to know the kids. The kids choose electives and they participated in 4 different ones throughout the week. On Monday the kids decorated surf boards and we put them all over the back wall of our 'Beach' area (the chapel). They looked so good! (Don't worry, I'll post pictures soon.)

On Tuesday we had Christmas in July! We all wore red and green and some wore santa hats. We sang Christmas carols, told the story of Christmas and played Christmas Games. At the end of the day, as the kids were leaving, we gave each child a Christmas card that had been signed by all the leaders - they loved them!

Wednesday we headed off to the Science Centre. Even though we had sorta a chaotic and frustrating start to the day the kids absolutely loved it and had tons of fun!

Thursday was a blast too! We had a rocket show in the park - which the kids thought was great. We shot off two model rockets. Then we had a picnic in the park...the weather was great! After our picnic we went swimming. After slathering all the kids in sunscreen they jumped in the pool for an hour of wet fun. Only the assistant director and myself got sun burnt...but in my books that's better then any of the kiddies.

Friday was the perfect ending to a great day. We played Bear Hunt (a game the kids adore!), had tuck, and watched yogi bear.

All in all, I thought the first week went great!

Hope your first weeks go well, my fellow DCDs.
