We have been up to some exciting things here at camp the past two weeks! Local author Valerie Sherrard generously gifted us Cooper Clark and the Dragon Lady and we were all super excited to take the book home with us. The Miramichi Fire Dept came to visit and talked about fire safety and gave us a tour of the truck! We ended this week with a picnic outside with snacks and treats provided by our campers, parents/guardians, and camp counsellors. We are excited to see what the final week of the July camp brings! 😁📚🚒🍏

Our first week at camp went great. We are keeping busy fishing for rhymes, making jello and graham cracker beaches, chia seed pets, and doing a water balloon toss!

Great job to our campers who received a certificate for perfect attendance this week. Keep up the hard work!😀🏖️📚
