This year’s April Vacation Camp was an action-packed week, full of fun and friendships, featuring plenty of outdoor games, imaginative play, crafts and nature-based activities!

Our vacation campers made use of the entire campus, and enjoyed engaging with each other in this year’s themes, which included “At the Zoo,” “Earth Day,” “Camping Day” and “Circus Day”…

At the Zoo: What a fun day we had down “at the zoo!” We made giraffes, which was a perfect project for developing our fine motor skills….we marched around the field with zoo animal masks playing musical instruments…we made a yummy special snack called, “Animals In a Cage,” with graham crackers, sun butter, pretzel sticks and zoo animal crackers. Our Vacation campers all had a blast pretending to be there favorite zoo animal!

Circus Day: What fun at the circus, jumping through “rings of fire,” walking on the tightrope and juggling like circus clowns! We even made special circus snack…what a perfect end to Vacation Camp week!
