Day to Day

Every morning the campers divide into their three groups and then rotate through four different classes. My group named themselves "The Piddling Pups on Parade." We have a theme song.

Their first stop today was acrobatics. They did all sorts of rolls and finished with monkey rolls (pictured above).

Next they moved on to Performance, which is clowning with a little bit of theater awareness built in. They played a game called Monster in which one kid is a monster and the other kid is afraid of them.

Next all the groups get together for snack time. Today they had grapes, apple slices, and cheese. Peanut butter was available to put on any of these things.

My group then moved on to juggling. They learned devil sticks / flower sticks and also diablo (pictured above). A good time was had by all.

My group finished their morning in aerials. The Spanish web is pictured above, but tight wire, trapeze, and fabric were also options.

Things to look forward to for the rest of this session: Pie Day, Gender Bender (a dinner dress up), a dance, and the showcase where the parents see what their kids have learned.
