We hope your holidays started off well with good food and good friends over the Thanksgiving weekend.
We had a fun time with a small group of diverse campers during Thanksgiving Break. Some of the highlights include:
- Cinnamon-scented Pinecone Turkey centerpieces
- Several campers tried ice skating for the first time and even let go of the wall!!
- Our Education Center garden has been completely revitalized with the love and care of our senior volunteers! The campers received a “tour” of the new vegetables and herbs… maybe Chef Ross will give us a taste of the crops during Winter Camp!
This Sunday marks the end of daylight savings. The days will be getting shorter, but for one day we get an extra hour. What will YOU do with your hour? Why not do something good for yourself or the community. Join me in a committment to give one hour of your time this Sunday to a cause. This could be as small as making a healthy personal choice or as big as volunteering for a local charity for an hour. Need suggestions:
- Play catch with your kids
- Walk the dog around Lake Murray
- Make a “real” breakfast with the kids
- Give your leftover Halloween candy to a rec. center- save yourself from the sweets!
- Plant some bulbs in the garden for the spring
- Read to a child
- Visit a retirement home and play games with someone (or just get to know them)
- Call a friend you haven’t heard from in years
Whatever you do, do something that makes you feel good! Respond to this post and share how you used your hour. Have a happy Halloween!
Thanks for being a part of a fantastic summer at the Kroc Center! It was great to see so many familiar faces, and to see those veteram campers welcome the new campers into our Day Camp Family. The children took home keepsakes from art, possibly new skills in a specialty sport, but more importantly some new friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.
I’m already beginning to plan the exciting camps and programs for Summer 2010! I’d love to get your feedback on you and your camper’s experience from 2009, as well as suggestions for improving our program. Please click on the link below to take our brief program and developmental survey.
Thanks & I look forward to seeing you soon,
Andrea Sanford
Only 40 days left until Summer Camp 2009!
