Theatre Arts is always an interesting place to be because of the level of creativity and enthusiasm that we get from our campers. This week our main activity was to dress up in costumes and we made sure that our acting was accompanied by working on sound effects. Campers were given a list of sound effects and needed to incorporate them into their own short skits. During these skits, they would dress up in costume. Through this, we learned the many different ways sound effects could be incorporated into different scenes.

Highlights of the Week:

1. Started our placements
2. Had a blast running Cabin Fun periods in our Section placements
3. Had fun taking the lead during speciality periods

We Learned:

• Leadership
• How to take the skills we learned at our Claremont training and apply them at our placements

Looking Forward To:

Our second placement begins and we can’t wait to get started!

Highlights of the Week:

1. We had a special candy land unit extravaganza where we ran through the chocolate river
2. We went to a special nature walk at the very back of camp.

With a little practice we can learn the camp dance and our unit cheers!

Looking Forward to:

Colour Wars and showing families around camp during Family Night!

This week at the wall campers got the opportunity to save pictures of their section head from the top. All of our section heads were returned safely before the start of our treasure hunt in week 2. Each camper got to climb every wall to save as many section heads as possible.

At nature this week, each section had the chance to come by and do the Jungle Run, which is an obstacle course to see how animals move around in the jungle (or forest). It was a lot of fun for all the campers. We also had the opportunity to learn about how animals eat, sleep and interact with one another and we got to see a new area of camp and spend time in the forest. Lastly, we did a nature walk, on which we learned how to use a compass and look at different plants.

This week, the campers took on the canoe staff challenge! Our staff decided that the paddles for the canoes were too heavy and clunky and so we challenged the campers to do one lap around the canoe island using only their hands for paddles. We also had the opportunity this week to learn Paddleboating basics.

Camp Craft welcomed our campers back this week with s’mores. Nothing says camp more than making s’mores around a campfire! There were lots of gooey fingers and chocolate smiles during this week’s visit. We also learned camp survival skills with Senior Options, like fire and shelter building.

Arts and Crafts is a great way to get campers engaged creatively and constructively. This week, our Juniors made 3D Hot air balloons using construction paper and string, and our Inters and Seniors created a beach scene using foam or felt. With a theme focused on summer welcomes, throughout the week we made flip flops, pineapple thumbprints, spray bottle art and sun paintings!

At Low Ropes this week campers had the experience of learning how to be “spies”. Campers got to do activities like getting through a laser grid without being caught. They also learned how to swing from “building” to “building”. For those who came to Low Ropes more than once, we had pirate activities.
