Week 6 Recap and Week 7 Bulletin

During Week 6, our campers had a fantastic time embracing their inner superhero! 

🖌️Crafts this week included pipe-cleaner super heroes, designing their own cape, and a superhero dual dice game.

👟To sharpen their superhero skills, campers participated in soccer ball target practice, a rock-paper-scissors relay, and a team building balloon relay in our gym space.

🎉Our Strong, Smart, and Bold Superheroes swooped in to some exciting specialties, not once, but twice this week! Tuesday, they took on “Hero Blast”, and Thursday, a challenging bouncy obstacle course.

🦸🏽‍♀️On Wednesday, campers donned their capes, masks, and character symbols to dress up as their favorite superhero or villain!

🚴‍♀️Bold Adventures campers weathered the intense dynamics of rides and games at Lake Compounce on Monday, honed a passion for justice and leadership at the Capitol Building on Tuesday, tested their hand-eye coordination at Bowl ‘O Rama on Wednesday (change in schedule due to weather), and learned about their favorite past and present superheroes at the Mattatuck Museum on Thursday.
