We have sooooo many talented campers we ran out of time and were only able to get all the girls done. Be sure to stay posted for pictures of Talent Show Part 2 to see all the guys!

Session 5

Session 5 started in a flurry of campers yesterday! After getting checked in and saying bye to their family and friends, campers went down to the Rec Room, which had been transformed to a Casino!, for an afternoon of bingo, craps, and cards!

Opening Campfire was amazing! We met all of our cabin groups, sang silly songs, and watched campers and staff perform some funny skits!

Farewell Session 4

Campers donned their camp shirts and enjoyed some final time together in the rec room this morning as parents arrived to pick them up. Between dances, talent shows, color wars, activities, and all our friends from the AbilityFirst Centers, it has been an amazing week! Thanks to all the campers that came  for such a fantastic week and we can't wait to see you next year!

The end of a busy week...

Today we had the Clairmont and Pasadena Centers up to have their fun at camp. Pasadena joined in the all camp swim whil Clairmont got try their hand at archery and horseback riding!

Last night marked the end of the session with closing campfire. Campers started out signing their camp journals with friends. Cabin groups shared their pinecone wishes and had their final performances for the summer. We heard songs from High School Musical, Wicked, Michael Jackson, and other various artists while campers entertained with with their voices and dancing skills. We ended the night with our "hugging song" and campers went to bed to the sounds of the staff singing "Leaving on a Jet Plane."
