Week 7 Recap

Color War

It was a close Color War between the Blue Trolleys and White Monorails all the way until the end. Although White led all week until the Friday performances, the Blue Trolleys took home the win after their performances on Friday.

Nursery/Kindergarten

     It was another great week at Hillcrest for the Tea cups. We are so proud of our little campers; as they have improved so much in their swimming skills. They have learned how to blow bubbles,  put their heads under the water and float on their backs.  In Jewish Culture they  made cookies with rainbow sprinkles. They put their creative skills to work in arts and crafts and made a paper plate sun. Of course the day would not be complete without singing the Mr. Sun song as they made their creations.  In gym the children played with different size balls. We went to the Long Island Aquarium; where we saw sharks, sting rays, small fish and their favorite was the sea lion show. On Wednesday we went to Valley Stream State Park for our bbq. We played in the playground and had hot dogs for lunch.  It was color war week for the other groups at the camp and they got to see a water melon eating contest. Thursday was our last trip to Progressive gymnastics; and they were able to go in the rock wall tunnel and become experts at forward rolls. On Friday we went to bounce U where they had an awesome time going on the different inflatables. We are sad to see that camp is almost over; but we know the last week of camp will be just as fun as the others. 

Camper of the week: The camper of the week is Asher. Asher was sitting next to a camper who had fallen asleep on the bus coming back from our trip; and  helped to wake him up by calling his name and gently tapping him on his shoulder.
