Week 8 in Pictures...

Dear All,

We hope you all had a wonderful week. 

Our week at Camp Heidelberg has been just fantastic, and so we would like to share a few of our special moments with you. 

Enjoy! :)

See you tonight, Thursday, at the campfire - weather permitting.

Week 8 - The Final Countdown ...

Dear All,

Sadly, we are slowly approaching the end of our 2013 camp season! :(

Now, we do have 5 incredible and unforgettable days left, and we fully intend to enjoy every last moment of what is left of our time together! 

This week, we will be 'navigating nature' and playing as much basketball as that is possible.

Also, please join us for our campfire on Thursday, August 22nd, followed by the last sleep over for our campers.

Thank you all for your continued support of our day camp.

Week 7 in full swing!! :)

Dear All,

 

We are off to week 7, the second last week of the summer - unfortunately! :( 

 

Nonetheless, we have tons of great things to look forward to and accomplish this week, and the next. 

 

This week, we are offering two exciting streams: 'Build It Up And Break It Down', and 'Tri-Sports'.  The 'builders' - lead by Twigs, Kat and Teddy - are completing the Camp Heidelberg sign, and are working on a boat, with the help of the LIAs, who will be at our camp site on Wednesday and Thursday.  Campers who chose 'tri-sports' - lead by Daisy, Fin and M&M - will be trying European Handball, European Dodgeball (the Euro theme is not intentional! :)), and a variety of challenges. 

 

This week we will also hold our favourite 'Egg Drop' competition as well.  The task will be to build a strong enough 'nest' for the egg that will withstand a drop from the top of the boys bunk house! :) Stay tuned for the results, which we will know by Friday.

 

And, of course, we will be making crafts - such as the wooden name tags, duct tape bracelets, and tie dye - and will be working on our archery skills as well.  There is lots to do for the next four days, for sure! :)

 

Thank you for your continued support of our day camp.  Weather permitting, see you on Thursday at the campfire! :)

Week 6: A Week For The 'Record Books', And The 'Nets'!

Dear All,

Following a short break during the long weekend, we got right back into where we left off!  This week we will try to build - or break - any and every Camp Heidelberg record ever set.  So far, Emily, one of our regular campers, hoola-hooped for more than 50 minutes without dropping the hoop! Wow!!!!  Teddy scored 4 baskets off of hook shots taken from the steps at the back of the HQ.  The latest is that he can't really feel his right arm at the moment...nonetheless, he set a record with the help of nine amazing campers! :) We still have two more days to go; anything may happen before we head off for a swim on Friday afternoon!

And, yes, we might make another attempt at building the biggest boat every built out of cardboard at Camp Heidelberg! ;)

Please stay tuned for a few pictures from our week so far.

See you at the campfire tomorrow, Thursday, evening! :)

Week 5: Just Past The Halfway Point of The Summer

Dear All,

We 'celebrated' the mid-way through our summer with loads of games of Gaga Ball, Man Hunt, and leadership games - in our 'Camp Heidelberg Games' stream, that is.  Kiwi, Daisy and Fin kept the campers active all week long! We just played A LOT of those games! 

Our 'Campfire Cooking' chefs, lead by M&M, Teddy and the Dino Might - and, who can forget 'Lefty', who filled in for M&M - learned how to safely build a fire, before learning how to prepare choco-bananas, orange brownies and apple spice!  I think the apple spice turned out, probably, the best.  All of the foods were eatable though! ;) We tried them ourselves! :)

The end of the week was enjoyable as well.  We would like to thank all the parents and guardians for their generous donations of food items for our pot luck lunch on Friday.  A big 'THANK YOU' also goes out to our Volunteers-In-Action: Amanda, Chris and Dorothy who were very helpful all throughout the week.

And, onto week 6 we went...it's a short one, nut nonetheless exciting one! :)
