Congo Camp 2010

Campers entering the Haunted House.

The seniors set-up an exciting activity for the rest of our day campers today: a haunted house.  The sock hop went from a calm place for campers to meet and complete games into a bone-chilling haunted house.

All of the campers enjoyed walking through the mysterious walkways and dark corridors and our Seniors had fun spooking our campers a bit. 

Good job, Seniors, on an excellent haunted house!

Campers rearing to go down the slide!

All of the campers have been enjoying the various moon bounces, but one of the bounces enjoyed by our older campers is The Cliffhanger.

It may look like a simple slide from far away, but as you near this slide you can see just how steep it is.  Almost a straight drop down, the campers love the flying feeling they have on the way down. 

The campers all have been having fun sliding down The Cliffhanger and we hope they continue to enjoy it for the rest of the day!

Can you spot the camper on the wall?

One of the Carnival activities is the Velcro wall.  This activity is pretty similar to how it sounds.

The campers put on a special velcro suit.  Then, they take a running jump at a bouncy wall made of velcro.  As they jump up, their suit attaches to the wall and they get a few moments being stuck with no ground below them. 

All of the campers have a blast getting to bounce around on this moon bounce before they spring onto the wall. 

Each of the campers likes to see just how high they can get, but sometimes the difficulty is getting oneself down!

A Spin Art production.

At the Carnival, campers have the chance to still enjoy some arts & crafts by making Spin Art.

To make this art, the campers had to add colors onto a spinning palette.  Once the colors were added, the blank palette became a beautiful page of colors. 

The campers enjoyed getting to make this art and see the various designs that came out.

Like fingerprints, the interesting part of Spin Art is that no two pieces are ever the same!
