Camp Dakota 2010

Friday July 30, 2010

We started Camp Dakota out with a sizzle and a pop and ended on a soft and gentle note. On Thursday our campers really enjoyed our visit to the Charlotte Nature Museum. The tour was amazing and the puppet show was great and very informative. Our day ended with a visit from Shirley Rhue with a wonderful art project making flowers with salt, chalk, glue and glitter and the campers made their own flowers, very nice. I would like to thank Shirley for all the wonderful art projects she created for our campers. Friday we went to ImaginOn which was very fun and relaxing. The Afternoon ended with a presentation by our campers and what a great job they did!

I now would like to think all the parents for allowing us to work with their kids at Camp Dakota. The volunteers and I truely enjoyed the time that we all spent together. I would like to thank the volunteers for coming to camp everyday and for doing such a great job. And last I would like to thank Dilworth United Methodist Church for allowing us to use the space provided for Camp Dakoto, your the BEST.

It was a calm and beautiful day today at Camp Dakota! We started the day with a very comfortable lunch outting at McDowell Park. We at lunch, protected from the light rain, watching it fall on Lake Wylie as a gentle breeze blew. On our walk after lunch, we saw a beautiful Crane and many fish who came to the edge of the lake in schools. On our way back we all screamed for ICE CREAM and had some yummie soft serve. We completed our day with goal work.

A special thanks to Za for keeping us all giggling!
