Training Update!


We have been training, training, training and its been exciting and overwhelming all in the same! Each week we go from 6-10 and we have to theme each week. So far we have had different themes of red, white, and blue, space, and bug-a-palooza. Last night the topic was diversity and they are teaching us how to incorporate diversity into our everyday activities with the kids and also how to deal with all of the people that we will meet this summer!

Every training I get so excited for the people I will be meeting and for the things I will be doing this summer!

I just thought I would post some pictures of one of the themed nights. It is of the red, white, and blue and my group went as Uncle Sam.

Here I am in my Uncle Sam outfit! I made my chat out of construction paper and it took forever and it wouldn't even stay on my head!





This is my group! We try each week to go as a group costume so it is more fun! Our group name is Electric Yellow! We also have three vets in our group who are the group leaders and have already experienced camp adventure before!


Also here is a picture of my friend Kristen Mitchell she will be going to Germany this summer! It was her week to preform so I thought I would take some pictures and show you some of the fun things that we do! It is called a Blitz and I will explain more when it is my week to perform!


Until Next Time,

Training

My training for Camp A has begun! We go every Wednesday from 6-10 and we listen to speakers, learn games and songs, and watch different skits and blitz! This has been a great experience but it does get very long and boring! My group is the electric yellow group and it is a really fun group! 

Every week we have a theme that we have to dress up for and this week was space. People dressed up as the characters from toy story, cone heads, and aliens; I went as orion's belt and wore different types of belts! 

We have our first assignment which is we have to plan a weeks worth of lesson plans for the kids so I am nervous and excited about that! 

Next week it is Red, White, and Blue themed and my group is going as Uncle Sam, beard and all! Hopefully I will remember and take some pictures so I will post them!

Until next time,
