Thinking back on my camp days, my poor mom never got a letter. I was always too homesick to stay, and never made it long enough to send home a letter. If our preschool campers could write a letter home, I think they would say that it was a great 1st day of camp. Here are some pictures from our super day at Camp Sunshine!
The before picture!
Our happy campers started arriving bright and early this morning.
Like all good campers, we first had to set up camp.
We opened our sleeping bags and got our flashlights ready for a story under the stars.
Before we got started with the story, we explored with our flashlights.
The children had many ideas as to what we could do with the lights.
We light-wrote our names on the ceiling and made shadow puppets.
Time for centers. These fishermen are practicing hand-eye-coordination while trying to catch lunch!
We read stories and hung out in the camping chairs.
We explored fossils of some wild animals.
Look at this amazing mountain that we built in the block center.
Snack time today was do-it-yourself trail mix.
Everyone followed the recipe, even when it was REALLY hard to take only 1 scoop of chocolate chips!
After snack we went on a bear hunt!
We played a fun memory game where while the campers "slept", a sneaky bear took
We made these precious campers, sleeping in their sleeping bags.
We closed our time together with songs by the campfire.
Thanks a million to Mrs. Lauren for joining us with her guitar.
Here is our version of the Campfire Pokey...
For this version we were cooking grilled cheese sandwiches.
