Kids will be kids. In order to keep the kids excited about attending the summer program we introduced many new games activities during week three. These ranged from three pin dodge ball, knock out tournaments, freeze dance, and many others. Needless to say most if not all the kids had a blast during the entire week. This week’s field trips included the splash, Dairy of a Wimpy Kid, and Cici’s Pizza, all which went very smoothly. In other news the Daytona Beach News Journal featured an article detailing our camp activities, check it out-

Week three, also brought about realization that no matter how rough a child’s background currently or may have been; at heart they are still kids. This concept has been brought about after building a strong counselor/ camper bond. Thus, leading many of kids to share stories of the past and present, many happy and many sad. In either case, during they daily activities they smile and laugh beyond the stories they hold. This weeks experience has made my time here all the worth while. With about a month and half left I look forward to helping these kids be kids, allowing them to forget for a moment.
