Hey Everyone! Sorry about the no post yesterday and the lack of pictures. We are still trying to find a cord to get the pictures off my camera. Until then I’ll try to write a more detailed blog.
Yesterday was a fun day. In Social Skills we discussed personal hygiene and puberty. After that the 2 teams did obstacle course and archery. After lunch it was time to head to Cochrane to go swimming. Our pool hasn’t been opened yet at camp so we have been taking the kids to Cochrane to swim. They love the pool and it’s nice to get off our site once and awhile. After swimming the campers played Belly Baseball and did arts and crafts. Our theme was survivor so each camper made a headband for the game that night and they also made/decorated cookies. After dinner we played a HUGE game of flinch, where Jac Pine and Bandit dominated. The survivor game went off without a hitch and we saw some great teamwork and encouragement from all the campers throughout the evening. I think most of the campers were pretty tired from our day … it was the earliest they had went to bed so far this camp.
Today was our trip to Easter Seals Camp Horizon. The weather was a little cloudy before we left so weren’t sure how the day was going to play out. We made it to Horizon and some of the kids got to do giant swing and some did the rock climbing wall and low ropes course. At lunch it started raining like crazy so the staff at Horizon found us a dry place to eat lunch. After thunder and lightening we were informed that we wouldn’t be able to do the rest of the activities so we got on the bus early and came back to camp. It rained really hard all afternoon so the campers watched a movie in the dining hall. The sun came out and a huge dodgeball game broke out. After dinner we did social skills (dealing with strong emotions) and played Capture the Counsellor.
