Final Week of Camp

Friday I wrapped up another summer at the Woodstock YMCA Summer Camp and it was a huge hit. The campers got to do a special addition of 'Big Day' and not only did all the campers enjoy the change the staff thought it was a great way to end off the summer.

 Campers got to listen in to a drumming presentation as well play them. The way these drums are made is so cool. Glad I was able to help make a drum and go around with a finished product so the campers could play them. The smiles on the campers faces when they were making different sounds was awesome. :)

 Dot painting was the craft for the day. Many different shades to use as well different tools to create whatever you want. This camper painted one of my favorite ones. These campers are creative and can do a lot of cool crafts.
 

 Bannock making was also a huge hit. It is simply a dense bread that cooks over the fire and of course it's tastes even better with sugar and jam. The campers got to go into the woods and break one of the camp rules and find a stick they wanted to use for the cooking. Overall the campers listened to the rules about how long we wanted the sticks and didn't abuse the stick rule which was awesome to see.

Close up of the drum that I was holding and letting the campers play. So sweet seeing them make different sounds and wondering why? how? about the drums. Friday was a great learning day not only for the campers but for me as well. It was a fantastic 4 weeks at camp and an even better 2 year at camp. Fingers crossed I can return for a little bit of next summer. We will have to see how schedules work out and such. Wish all the campers the best at the school this year and I hope you all enjoyed Woodstock YMCA Summer Camp 2014! :)
