JUL. 22-25 Firmly Planted IGNITE summer camps all start with 30 minutes of group chapel followed by 2 1/2 hours of specialty camps designed to ignite your student's faith. Cost includes a camp t-shirt. So many games to play! How do we choose? Here is a snapshot of some of my ideas. Our time will be spent each day with child lead games in a nurturing environment that will build coordination, agility, speed, strength, & teamwork. The typical favorites are dodgeball, basketball, pinball, capture the flag, spiderball, sharks, musical chairs, ultimate tag, and tug of war. Others will be designed with more summertime competitions. Some examples are water balloon launching, monkey in the middle with water balloons, balloon toss, fastest circuit time through an obstacle course, and partner relays. On the last day, I will make a treasure hunt with a cool surprise at the end. Squirt guns are great on a sunny day, along with the parachute filled with water balloons! Lots of water breaks and a snack time will be offered each day. Summer is my favorite time of year to play! I hope you can join us! Love, Ms. Kristin
Requirements:
Be ready to have lots of fun and friendly competitions with good sportsmanship. Bring a snack and a water bottle each day. Maybe a towel if the kids decide to get wet from water play.
