This year, Summer KidsCamp brings lots of exciting new experiences including a cupcake decorating workshop, Zumba classes and an exploring of Greig’s Caves. Each week is given a theme that dictates what children will learn during the week as well as special guest visitors, field trips, crafts and activities. This year’s themes include Dinosaurs, Under the Sea, Food Fight Mad Scientists, Lore and Legends of the Sea, Pioneer Power, At the Beach, Sports and Games through Time, and Letter Theme Days.
This year also brings a new batch of Jr. Interpreters who are enthusiastic and eager to share their time and talents with Grey Roots. Returning to Grey Roots as the KidsCamp Coordinator and lead counselor is something I look forward to every year; the planning, the familiar faces, and the new faces to welcome. I’ve been a part of the Grey Roots staff for 4 years and have enjoyed myself so much. Building strong relationships with both the staff and our great campers make for such a rewarding experience. My time at Grey Roots especially with our KidsCamp has reassured me in my doubts of becoming a teacher and continuing to work with children in the future.
I am very excited for KidsCamp to begin and hope that all the campers are looking forward to the summer as much as I am. With a creative and supportive team behind me I feel this will be the best year yet! I would like to thank in advance all of the people that are making this summer of KidsCamp both possible and a great experience; Martin’s School Transit, our Jr. Interpreter Volunteers, all those donating craft supplies, our special guests and the local attractions where we will be having our trip days. Most of all, we would like to thanks our campers and their families for their interest in Grey Roots KidsCamp.
Looking forward to seeing you all again!
