Session 4 2012

Welcome back to Session 4  at Camp Paivika.

This is our first children's session. The staff are very excited to meet the  little Paivikans.

 

First of all, the campers had to check in with our unit directors, Ashley and Justin.

After that the counselors helped the campers decorate bags 

that will contain their Arts and Crafts and Nature projects.

In the afternoon each day, we had an all-camp swim!

We all love to swim and play in the warm water.

The laughter and smiles of the campers made us all happy at Camp Paivika.

Horseback riding is another fun activity.

Joe set up many fun games for the kids such as 

basketball, hula-hoops, "red light- green light" games and tetherball.

In the recreation room we played ping pong and foosball.

Fine Arts was combined with Nature for the entire session. 

So Greg and Dean read stories about nature and animals to the campers.

Then campers were encouraged to draw pictures and act like the animals from the stories.

In Arts and Crafts, Lauren taught the campers how

to make mobiles and they added their leaves to the Camp Paivika tree. 

Your laugh lights up our day!!!!
