Chronicles of Learn-a-Lot #9 - Funky Faces
Yes face painting is a camp tradition from the previous year, and it's kept up this year as well. With designs such as:
-Hello Kitty
-Spiderman
-Hearts
-Butterflies
-And much much more.
The kids were patient with their facial artistic masterpieces and enjoyed displaying the art on their faces throughout the camp's day.
In these bittersweet final days of Camp, the kids are loving every second of it, and so am I. I will miss you all.

Chronicles of Learn-a-Lot #8: New to the Family
Animals are unpredictable creatures that bring about surprises at every possible chance. When the camp's doors opened on Monday morning to see a brand new hatched baby chick along with 23 Snake babies, shock and awe came across anyone who heard the tale.
The snakes have all been spread apart into smaller cases, to avoid fighting. One baby Chick hatched, the rest appeared to become casualties of overheating. But the surviving chick is now named, Carlos and continues it's chick life in the incubator to keep it warm.
We welcome all these creatures to our atrium, and when camp is over these animals will return to their natural habitats and be free to live the rest of their lives with freedom.-Jess
Chronicles of Learn-a-Lot #7: Field Days & Field Trips
Field Trip:
The great outdoors is an ill visited place for kids, most children would rather watch television than go outside to play. Camp Learn-A-Lot attempts to remedy this with many outdoor activities, previously I spoke of the Camp's Water-Day, now it's time to talk of the more recent, Field Day
The Camp Learn-A-Lot Field Day consisted of twenty different stations where physical activity is required, usually competitive games. (Ie: Duck Duck Goose, Limbo, Hula Hoop path., Ect.)
Much like the Water Day post, I must say the pictures speak for themselves:
Field Trip:
On Monday August 5th, the third grade students went on a class field trip to Nankin Mills Nature Center,where they were fed some pizza and given a backpack full of school supplies.
Being outside can be fun

After all the backpacks were delivered and the pizza eaten, the students were given free reign to the playground just a leap away. For the rest of the school outing, the students played on the playground.
