Getting ready to close out

Hi, we are here to say that camp has been very good this year and the campers have been trying very hard. The teachers and counselors say that everyone is doing a good job in being friends and learning new things. We are really liking the swimming at the end of the day. It has been really hot!!!


The final Celebration of Learning is tomorrow and we have some special guests coming from out of town and from the campus.



















Dr. Karen said the MATs are going to help with the decorations in the gym. They have been working very hard to become teachers. I think they will like putting up the balloons and setting up our celebration projects. Here are some of them working. David took their picture.

Going to the campus immersion

Today all of the campers went by shuttle to the main campus for a tour and a chance to be in one of the college classes. They used clickers to answer questions about plants and biology. The answers came up on the screen. It was taught by Dr. Z who is a biologist and a vice provost.


We then talked to the admissions people Ms. Simona and Mr. Tim about the important things needed to get ready for high school and college.


Then we had a great lunch which was all you could eat in the cafeteria. Everyone had a lot of fun and then it started to rain and we took the shuttle back to the Clairmont campus for the afternoon classes.

Daily Challenge Winner

Hello Campers and Parents we are here to tell you how the campers' day went. Well it was pretty good for the most part. The daily challenge today was to pick a camper and learn about their culture. So the daily challenge winner is Luisa!


She chose Clive Young as his culture learning. She said Clive is from Jamaica and the colors of his flag are Gold, Black, and Yellow and described what each color was for and that he liked to eat Bun and Cheese. Now there were many people who did an excellent job with their challenge but we all liked this one for the winner. This is good because it teaches all of us about different cultures. Royce and Linnea are giving the $10 Barnes and Noble gift card at snack time.
