Day Camp 1 - Tuesday

Hi everyone,

We hope you had an excellent long weekend. After we did our Zones of Regulation check-in, we did our camp wide game. Today we played Barnyard and campers got to channel their inner farm animal and have a super fun time running around. After our daily goals, we continued with our Social Skills. Today we concentrated on Friendships, and both counsellor groups did a variety of games and activities so campers have a good understanding of healthy and happy friendships. Campers then had a bit of free time to play on the playground, make some crafts and drawings, and hang out with some extra time so they had time to change into their swimwear for our upcoming trip to Southland Leisure Centre.

Once lunch was done, we loaded up the bus and headed to SLC. It was a blast watching the campers go down the waterslides, ride the waves in the wave pool, jump and flip off the walls and diving board, and swim the day away with their counsellors. It was an excellent way to spend a hot day, and by the time we got back on the bus and returned to Foothills, we were all ready for an afternoon nap.

Today was one of our camper’s birthdays so he was able to pie a counsellor in the face. He chose River and she ended up covered in shaving cream pie. After that, we did our Steps in the Right Direction and campers and counsellors gave stickers to campers for the nice things they noticed today. We then did our afternoon Zones check in before campers were picked up.

We’re back at Foothills tomorrow for a camp wide game, Social Skills, and Clubs. After lunch, we’ll be doing Choice programming and campers will have three new Choices to choose between for the afternoon.
Stay cool,
Pippin
