Skipper Scoop
|   Updates from the RIVA Skipper Division Supervisor- Jill Bloom
The 2014 Voyage is off to an amazing start in the Skipper Division!
We are so proud of our littlest campers. Their smiles and laughter is
contagious. The groups have fallen into routines and each one is enjoying
the many different activities they are offered.
The Skippers saw a show on Wednesday morning
about water safety. This was sponsored by Safe-t-Swim and we met new
friends- Sammy Starfish, Gilbert Guppy and Timmy Tadpole. We watched
a puppet show and learned from our new friends the major rules and steps that are necessary to keep us safer and to be aware of our surroundings in any open body of water.
On Thursday we had our July 4th celebration with a special visit from
Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty. It was so exciting to see them, pose for
pictures with them and answer their silly trivia questions for prizes! The
Skippers looked so patriotic in Red, White and Blue and we learned that
we were celebrating America's Birthday!
This was an unbelievable first week of camp and we can't wait till next
week...It's spirit week!!! Don't forget that it's "Masquerade Monday" this
coming Monday so have your children wear their most creative masks!
Also, please make sure everything is labeled!
