Weekly Newsletter
June 22, 2009
Dear Super Kids Camp Families,
We are on to session three, and in honor of a very successful first two weeks, we here at SKC think that a PARTY is an appropriate way to celebrate. That’s right campers; we are going to party all week long with our theme “PARTY LIKE A ROCKSTAR!” Lace up your dancing shoes, because this week Super Kids are going to cut a rug….
MONDAY: To kick off this week-long party, campers will be busy making their very own paper Mache disco balls. They will also warm up to a raving game of charades and then head to the duck pond for a picnic lunch. Amongst all of this madness, campers will get their climb on at the ROCK WALL!
Homework for the week: Create a totally rockin’ rock and roll outfit for our dance party on Thursday.
TUESDAY: Woohoo there’s a party in the POOL! Before heading to the pool, campers will enjoy the activities No Child Left behind Tag and Guitar Art Works. Then, it’s off to the pool for an afternoon pool party. Campers will play pool games and listen to music for this special pool time day. Parents, please send your child with a bathing suit, towel, sunscreen, and lifejacket/water wings if needed. We will be at the SSU pool from 1:30-3:30.
WEDNESDAY: Super Kids are off to spend the afternoon at Pump It Up in Cotati. The bus will leave SSU at 11:30 am and return around 3:30 pm. Please send your campers with a bag lunch and water bottle, as they will need all the energy they can get. We are asking that you please not send your camper with money.
THURSDAY: It’s finally the day we have all been waiting for. Super Kids, I hope you are dressed and ready for our traditional SKC rock and roll party. After a morning of mini explorations and a camp game of kickball….campers are invited to Super Kids style dance party. The party will include traditional dance party games as well as games such as So You Think You Can Dance, karaoke, and a Super Kids Idol. Today’s dress up theme: Rock and Roll Super Stars!
FRIDAY: It’s Friday, which means it is time to wrap this party up. Not to worry, we are going out with a bang! The morning will begin with more art and sport activities, which will lead into a picnic lunch and another afternoon at the pool. Parents, please send your child with a bathing suit, towel, sunscreen, and life jacket/water wings if needed. We will be at the SSU pool from 1:30-3:30 this afternoon.
PARENTS: Payment for Session 4 is due no later then Friday the 26th in order to avoid late charges. There will be NO CAMP Friday, July 3rd.
