What we did today
(& what we’ll do tomorow)
SCIENCE: Today we learned about animals called “antelopes”, which have hooves and horns like a cow. Antelope use their horns to protect themselves from predators like lions, and the boy antelopes use them to fight. Look at my horns! Do you know what horns are made of? Tomorrow we are going to play a bird beak competition. Which bird is the best at catching different kinds of food? Why is that?

ART: Today many of us finished our masks. We got to try them on and wear them. I had to make up some animal noises that would sound like it was from my mask animal. What do you think my animal looks like?
Tomorrow those of us who finished our masks will have to bring a funny shaped kitchen tool to camp. Like a potato masher, a ladle, a melon baller, or cork screw. We are going to use them to create a special kitchen tool animal.


RECREATION: Due to the fires we stayed inside for rec today. We played animal Simon says, team games, steal the bacon, and finished with animal face painting
BLOG: Check out our Blog!!! http://saedmo.blogspot.com/. I’ll be posting picture this afternoon of today’s and yesterday’s activities. The Give Me More will be posted on the Blog as well!

Notes from the director
Amazing camp spirit today! I loved all the fun animal costumes—your spirit really helped make the day extra special for the campers and staff! Due to the many fires burning, we tried to keep activities inside today. We know some campers really missed their out door time but safety first. Hopefully the air will be a bit better tomorrow. Goodnight, and see you tomorrow! SaraJ

Parent Surveys: Look out for the Parent Survey coming home with your camper today! Please please pretty please take a few minutes with your child tonight to fill it out. Your comments and suggestions are gifts that help us improve and get better every week. We love to hear what kids say at home so please include quotes whenever possible.


Edmo Button Design Contest: All the kids completing this week’s activities will be bringing home an Edmo collector’s button commemorating this week’s theme. Later this year we will have a button design contest for next year’s themes! The winning campers’ designs will be featured on next summer’s buttons! Look out for emails in the Fall with more details.

Loved this week’s theme? Check out next week that’s all about FOOD! We would love to see you all you’re wonderful campers again!!!! You can apply online or call the home office at 415-731-MORE.
