Campers learned about the different components of the circus and explored what it would be like to join one! For example, we talked about the exciting, and sometimes dangerous, duties of a tight rope walker and lion tamer. At the end of the week, we had a circus of our own! We even got to make our own big top tent with the parachute and enjoy popcorn as a traditional circus snack. Nothing like clowning around on a Friday!

We were certainly busy bugs this week at summer camp! We began our week by making lady bug hats and grass skirts; creating the perfect, buggy costume. We learned about the different types of bee dances and used yellow paint and bubble wrap to make our own luscious, honey hives. Most campers would say that one of our favorite memories of the week was our last morning spent at Mrs. Marks’s woods.

Brookeside's first week of our “Celebrate Summer” summer camp was out of the park! Each day, we dove into a different sport, while focusing on one of America’s favorite sports: baseball. We played balloon tennis and challenged ourselves with a new, friendly version called the Hungry Alligator. We ended our sports-filled week by combining all of our favorite sports into one “field day” afternoon!
