Today we enjoyed Miss Alana’s dance class and  swim lessons with the Take Me To The Water Swim School.   I also see that our Goldfish group decorated their own tote bags.  FUN!

We heard you missed us!  It may be overcast outside, but it is sunny in camp today.  Our campers enjoyed socializing, playing games, playing chess, swimming and more.   Here are some fun photos from our day.

Summer Clubhouse is on Facebook!

The Brooklyn Children’s Museum is very interactive and the campers didn’t want to leave.  They may ask you to take them back for another visit.  We visited all of the exhibits including : World Brooklyn (with multicultural costumes, borough businesses, an international supermarket, and more); Neighborhood Nature (bug’s eye views, community garden, and more); live demonstrations and interactions with snakes and turtles, and they saw the 20 foot long albino Burmese python – of which a  camper’s candid reaction was caught on camera and is one of my favorite photos.

The summer fun is never ending here at camp.  Our campers play, smile, laugh, run, jump, dance, and socialize all day.  Miss Alana came in and delivered  upbeat Dance & Movement classes.  I watched one of the groups play a great warm up movement game called “Pass the envelope”.  You can ask your camper to teach you how to play (but you will need a group to make it more challenging).  Summer Clubhouse also went swimming today.  They had  a blast and as I greeted them back upon their return, I was amazed at how blissful and relaxed they are after expending so much energy.  Today they are each bringing home a frisbee, a gift from our friends at the MOMA.  We’ll see you tomorrow.  We have our field trip!!!
