Somehow, we managed to sign the kids up for camps in 3 different locations: a middle school, Amanda's school and the gym. There were good reasons for the 3 locations which I won't bore you with, but it was not convenient.
Ella went to rocketry camp and pottery camp. In the morning, she decorated and set off various rockets of various sizes. She learned about parachutes and fuel and lots of other things. In the afternoon, she made things out of clay. She did not get the two confused. I think she enjoyed both camps, but whenever she said, "I had so much fun in camp today!" she meant the pottery camp.
Amanda went to superhero camp and junior detective camp. She dressed up as her chosen superhero, "The Sneaker," all week. She got to do finger prints and get together with the 3rd-5th grade camp, "Spy camp."
Luke went to rock climbing camp. After the first day, he had topped on one of the auto belays. After 2 days he had done two. After the 4th day, he had done all 6. It does help that the autobelays pull up slightly---when Amanda took the camp a few years ago, she had to have a rope attached to make sure they could get her down from the top. Luke wasn't quite so light, but he did sort of jump up the wall. I think he could have done that all day, up and down, up and down, up and down...
That was the last week of camp for the summer. Now they rely on Mom the camp director (and trips) for their entertainment and schedule. And books, too, of course =)
