Greetings from Camp Allyn!

Hello Friends-

Camp is in full swing now and we are loving it! There are happy faces anywhere you look. At Camp Allyn, we are running both our 12 Day Overnight Getaway and a four unit Day Camp.

Participants this week at Overnight are enjoying various world cultures each day. So far this week, everyone has loved the various cooking classes, like Mini Italian Pizzas and Brazillian style pudding. Wednesday, participants got a chance to ride in a tethered hot air balloon going about fifty feet into the air while those waiting played in a soccer game in honor of the World Cup games below. Friday night, everyone suited up in coveralls for a Color War to celebrate a late Holi Festival. A cornstarch and paint mixture created colorful wonders for all who participated.

Over on the Day Camp side of our world, campers have been loving our Sports Themed activities. For Kid’s camp, the Dolphins and the Jellyfish loved playing Sensory Football. They created sticky footballs and tossed them to goal posts drawn on the window. They also played field hockey and made goal after goal with Specialist Colleen. Teen Camp has loved exploring the fan side of Champion Challenges. They made their own brackets for their sports games, designed their own jerseys and held an ultimate dance off to celebrate the end of the first week of camp! Most of all, all of our day campers loved getting back to the pool this week. There is nothing like that first jump into a cool pool on a hot summer day! 

  

Trenton is ready for the pool!

We look forward to more great weeks at Camp Allyn. Thank you for reading and see you soon!
