Perfect weather for our campers
More and more of our campers feel that
they belong.
(belonging + empowerment=
freedom)
They are trying more things. Reluctance
is giving way to enthusiasm.
It’s great watching the changes:
Our campers are bonding with the staff
and with each other.
We already know of play dates being
arranged.
Apprehension is giving way to
involvement.
Swim
Many campers received new bands. Thanks
to our life guards, Christina and Raymond, and a lot of help from our staff.
Even our reluctant swimmers are starting to enjoy the pool.
Sports and movement
Jenna (sports) and Kristen (movement) are
utilizing activities to develop upper body strength along with sport and
movement skills.
Music
Doron, our magical
‘music man’, has all campers drumming and singing.
Drama
Blaire has all the campers stretching their
imagination.
Our big guys, following the
suggestions of camper Ben Kurtz, are planning the first of several ‘Give Back To
Society’ events. The have chosen the
Hudson
Valley Pet Food Pantry. If you
would like to contribute, please send pet food and related items in with your
camper by Friday, July 20.
The “Fantastic
4” presented their social skill
poem on the hill. It was very
enjoyable!
Our
Balloon Launch was a great success,
despite very high humidity that affected the ability of many balloons to lift
off. We don’t think we will break any distance records this year but are looking
forward to the responses. All balloons headed west/northwest towards the
Hudson. Where
will they land? How many cards will be returned?
We also had Balloon Shaving and a Water Balloon Toss, organized by our
'specialists' with great support from Samantha and our staff.
We
always look forward to hearing from you!
