Dear parents,

Friday July 29th will be carnival day at camp. All campers will participate in relays, carnival games, water games etc. In the afternoon, the different groups will show their peers some of what they have learned or otherwise done during camp. Half-day campers are welcome to stay all day. Due to space limitations we unfortunately cannot invite parents to the show.

Please make sure your campers bring their swim suit, a towel, shoes that can get wet and sun protection for this day!

Malheuresement la derniere semaine du camp!! For the last week of camp we will be playing games that require a lot of communication and team work!

Monday: To start of the week there is nothing better than a good game of hot lava to get the kids to get the kids active and communicating with each other, which is a great ice breaker for the first timers.

Tuesday: Everyone knows the name of the game… Dodge ball!!!

Wednesday: Four way obstacle race!!! Four teams all against each other who’s ever team completes the challenge the quickest wins!!!

Thursday: Nous allons jouer au Football!!!!!!

Friday: The long anticipated end of the camp Festival!!! there will be many fun games like sac races and water balloon toss and many more fun exciting games!!

I truly enjoyed every moment of working with your children this summer, they made coming to work great pleasure every single day. I wish they have a great remaining summer and hope to see those bright faces again next summer

Bonjour tout le monde! The kids are really enjoying themselves in sports class, and have improved their team work and athletic skills, but more importantly they have improved their french speaking skills tremendously! This is what we will do for the upcoming week,

Monday- We will be doing relays that unlike last week, it will require speed and less endurance.

Tuesday- Campers will play kick ball! Which allows them to build good eye-hand coordination plus great for communication in french with team mates!

Wednesday- The kids will have individualized timed relay races to encourage them to push themselves while having a lot of fun!

Thursday- Basketball is the name of the sport! A good ol’ fashion way of building endurance while working together!

Friday- Rematch of last weeks huge tug of war games!

Thanks, see you next week!
