Given’s Patriotic Adventures!
Date posted: July 6, 2014
Hi again! It is hard to believe another week of summer camp is over! We went out with a bang today by celebrating this weekend’s holiday with our 4th of July Picnic and dance! We were lucky to have our event supported and sponsored by Resurgent Capital Services, and we could not have done it without them! All groups went through the barbeque line and picked out hot dogs or hamburgers, chips, watermelon, cake, soda & water. It was a blast to eat picnic style in groups and enjoy the beautiful weather!

The Mosquitoes eat lunch together!
There was also cake and watermelon to enjoy!
After the picnic, our Kid groups continued with patriotic activities while the Teen groups stayed at the pavilion for a dance! DJ Ed played some fun tunes while we danced the afternoon away. It was an afternoon to remember, and a great way to kick off the long weekend!
And it’s time to dance!
Earlier in the week we got into the patriotic spirit with our “Stars and Stripes” and “American Adventures” themed activities. Teens made crowns of the Statue of Liberty out of paper plates and green streamers, had shaving cream fights and decorated their unit sites with festive posters and decorations. Kids painted fireworks with cut-up toilet paper rolls, made their own flags and went on a Lewis & Clark adventure at nature! There were also delicious smells wafting from the kitchen all week from groups making their own hand-made American apple pies!

Happy 4th of July!
