| WINTER CAMP | |
One month of fun down ...one month to go
 Camp is offered on Wednesdays for 8 weeks in January/February at Eastmonte Recreation Center. During the month of January, close to 50 campers have enjoyed baking, martial arts, zumba, kick boxing, bowling and more. Campers created and launched Bottle Rockets (congratulations RED team for winning) and traveled to Wonderworks for some competitive Lazer tag. Super Awesome Cool Pottery taught campers how to make tea cups, while Mad Science presented all about about BUGS, and Creatre Inc gave our teams an hour long lesson on the African Drums!!
To see photos of all the fun, visit our Facebook Page and click photos. You can also catch video clips of our super cool and super long camp hand shake! |
