🧱 Day 4 of LEGO Camp: Teamwork Makes the Dream Work! 🗣️✨
Today, our campers tackled a new game called "Brick Like This!" which put their communication skills to the test.
While there was a little frustration at the start (working together can be tricky!), everyone learned firsthand that perseverance pays off. Frustration quickly turned into high-fives and awesome team builds! 🙌🚀
We also squeezed in time for more Lego builds and tested out our Virtual Realty sets. The kids have been having a blast in our STEM Lab!

🎨ART CAMP RECAP! 🌟
They have been matching maximum creativity with maximum fun over here, and we are so incredibly proud of what the campers have made! Check out what we’ve been up to:
🌈 Part 1: Tie-Dye Camp
They kicked things off by diving deep into the world of color and pattern! The campers didn't just dip fabric into dye, they learned the actual science and artistry behind it. They explored a ton of different folding techniques (spirals, crumples, and pleats!) and experimented with different dyeing techniques to get the perfect saturation. The results were absolutely stunning! Our campers walked away with vibrant, custom-made pillowcases, t-shirts, and backpacks that they can use all year long.
🐏 Part 2: Wet Felting Camp
Next up, they took a step back into a beautiful, hands-on textile tradition. In this camp, we explored the magic of fiber arts! The campers learned the amazing process of taking loose, fluffy sheep's wool and using a little water, soap, and friction to completely transform it into a solid, durable piece of fabric. It was a tactile, meditative, and incredibly rewarding week watching them build a piece of cloth completely from scratch!
A huge thank you to all of our amazing artists who brought so much energy and imagination to camp. Keep creating!

On Day 5 of Game boards and Puzzle Camp we learned how to play Yahtzee, flew drones, and coded with colors using our Ozobots. It was wonderful spending time away from phones and tablets and instead playing games, strategizing, and running around the gym—just being kids.
What a fun week filled with problem-solving, teamwork, and lots of laughter. I loved watching students connect, think creatively, and simply enjoy being together.

🕹️ Game Champions & High-Flying Fun!
Thursday was packed with excitement! We kicked things off by learning the classic game of Kerplunk. The tension was high, but Deaunty showed us how it's done and walked away as our official Kerplunk Champion! 🏆
But the fun didn't stop on the ground. We also took to the skies and learned how to fly our drones! It was awesome watching everyone master the controls and get their pilots' licenses for the day. 🛸✨
