   Skipper Scoop

Jill Bloom, Skipper Supervisor   

 The Skippers started their week on Monday with a special Water Safety Program where they met Sammy the Starfish, Timmy the Tadpole and Gilbert the Guppy!  On Tuesday, the Skippers proudly celebrated America's birthday with Red, White and Blue Day.  We had a special July 4th parade at morning lineup followed by many fun red, white and blue activities throughout the day.  On Friday we had a "rockin" time for Decades Day during the 50s Sock Hop featuring Squeaky Clean.  Everyone looked awesome in their costumes!  Looking forward to a GREAT spirit week next week!

 Mariner Messages 

Fran Oosterom, Mariner Supervisor &  

Lonny Dugger, Asst. Mariner Supervisor    

Thanks for all the positive emails that we have received regarding your child's amazing experience during the first week of camp.  We had a terrific week in the Mariner Division!  It was highlighted by Red, White and Blue Day. All of the groups competed in several patriotic activities including a mummy wrap, wacky relays and a treasure hunt.  We also had a great time during Decades Day.  So many of our campers creatively dressed up to honor each decade.   

We are all looking forward to Spirit Week next week, which will be kicked off by a 4th Grade trip to Adventureland on Monday.  You can send your camper with at least $10 for the trip (lunch will be provided as always).  Don't forget to SMILE for Picture Day on Wednesday.  Due to our special event on Tuesday, July 10th with Disney Star Trevor Jackson, the 1st grade will now be going to Pump It Up on Thursday, July 12.

We all can't wait "sea" you for our first 2 Parent Nights next week.  See the schedule below for exact times for Parent Nights (based on groups).  Please send your camper in their bathing suit.  As always, I am always available by phone or email for any questions on concerns.

 Navigator Notes

Chrissy Bruno, Navigator Supervisor    

The Navigators had another great week of camp.  Our trips to Long Beach and Dorney Park/Wildwater Kingdom were a hit.  The Navigators also had a fun time at Decades Day.  We hit the dance floor with our best moves for the Disco and also enjoyed the Hip Hop show.  We have many exciting activities planned for next week including on campus events like the Trevor Jackson Concert and Islanders Ice Tour and off campus adventures to Boomers and our first Mystery Trip of the summer!  Remember to check your email every Friday for a detailed information  

for next week's trips.

I'm looking forward to seeing the Navigator families during Parent Nights next week.  See the schedule below for the exact nights and times for Parent Nights.  Remember to also wear a clean, white shirt for Picture Day next Wednesday.  "Sea" you next week!

Tuesday, 7/10: Trevor Jackson Concert & Camplified Events

TREVOR JACKSON, star of the new #1 Rated Disney Channel movie, LET IT SHINE, is making an exclusive appearance for one day only on the 2012 CAMPLIFIED U.S. TOUR, a pop culture phenomenon that's become the definitive VIP concert experience for teens and tweens, Tuesday, July 10 at Rolling River. 

Trevor Jackson has been acting, dancing, and making music since the age of 3! Now living in Los Angeles, he has starred in recurring roles on the SyFy hit EUREKA, the CBS series COLD CASE and on NBC's HARRY's LAW with Academy Award winning actress Kathy Bates. Though only 15 years old, he's already toured the country as Young Simba in Broadway's THE LION KING and is currently in the studio working on his debut album! LET IT SHINE, a re-imagining of the classic Cyrano de Bergerac story set in the contemporary world of hip-hop, rap and gospel music which premiered in mid-June, ranks as the year's #1 TV movie across all core kid demographics. Jackson, who plays Kris McDuffy in the hip-hop inspired film, also can be heard singing on the accompanying soundtrack.
