This week is our last week of resident camp, and we are lucky enough to have this week sponsored by Genesis Health Systems, and sponsored by the Gilda's Club of the Quad Cities. All of the camper's families have been affected somehow by cancer. It truly is a phenomenal week, and it's heartwarming to give these campers the chance to just be kids.
They started with the opening "Zany" campfire on Sunday night where they met all the counselors and saw some of our favorite skits, such as Boomer and Dr. Justice's "Princess and the Knight," and Tinkerbell, Nacho, TaDa, and Bubbles' "Little Girl Walking."
The other night activities that the campers have done are a night swim, capture the flag, and a cook out. Tonight, they will participate in "Wild and Crazy Kids." This will involve races and games that include eggs getting smashed onto counselor's heads, building fires, and filling a bucket with water, without the use of hands.
Some activities that campers have had the option of doing are arts and crafts, drama, dance, outdoor living skills, archery, and canoeing. In outdoor living skills, they are building a tree house/fort this week! In archery they used fruit and clay objects as their targets. For canoeing, they have applied teambuilding activities to learn how to canoe. In arts and crafts, they are making scrapbooks.
Day campers are taking advantage of the weather with the "Wet and Wild" theme this week. Currently, they are playing water games and are slip'n sliding!
