Here are some glimpses of the day:
Next we learned how to use hot glue guns safely while constructing a creative statue out of cardboard boxes.
The Beautiful Bubbles really loved this activity and took such pride in their work. They designed a statue that plays on the words "Destination Imagination". Their statue takes them to a destination and is fueled by imagination.
Activities included team-building parachute games outside and water relay races with wet sponges. Then we had each team make up a team name. The girls are called "The Beautiful Bubbles" and the boys are known as "The Poisonous Pillows".
We learned how to use power tools this morning. Man alive! I have to give a huge shout-out to my sweetheart!
Nathan took time off work this morning so he could be here teaching children how to use power tools. He spent hours with them building candy dispensers.
Now he's working until 8:00 at the office to make up the missed hours. I can't thank him enough for his help!
Wednesday he's repeating it all over again. I feel so blessed with his service! How lucky am I to have a hubby who supports my crazy antics.
Here's a shout-out to Laila, one of our Camp Counselors (in the pink hat). She was SO helpful all day being my "Go-fer" and floating helper for the special needs children. We loved having her here!
A glimpse of Vina, another one of our Camp Counselors. She's worth her weight in gold, folks! She's the group leader for the boys team and she did such a great job!
We also played lots of ice-breaker games to help kids know each other better. They mingled and giggled a lot. Then we learned basic acting skills as we played Charades.
Here is a glimpse of another Camp Counselor, Rebekkah. The girls really loved her!

It's a car with Pogo sticks instead of wheels. The exhaust cloud says, "Imagination" and they fitted the interior of the car with purple seats, a steering wheel, and a colorful keychain. It's still a work in progress, but they came really far in only 30 minutes.
Several teddy bears were imprisoned by a terrible dragon and isolated on an island surrounded by a lava lake. So the kids designed and built creative boats to ferry bears safely across the lake.
Later this week they are designing and building costumes for their bears before taking them home to keep. The bear they rescued went home with them today.
It's a great group of kids!
The kids seemed to have a great time. I heard several of them say they couldn't wait until they could come back....so I suppose that's a good sign.
