Hi Everyone:

We had a successful first day of our "Big Kids" camp. We all enjoyed the waves at Lawrencetown Beach and animals at Hope for Wildlife.

We have many fun activities planned for tomorrow including a Lifescanner presentation, a crab expert and the Paint Splatter Party. It is very important to wear old clothing as the paint from the Paint Splatter Party cannot be washed out of clothes.

The after camp special begins tomorrow at 4:00pm. If campers would like to participate their parents must be present.

Schedule for Friday August 5, 2016

Hi everyone:

Hard to believe but another week is almost over,  We end off BIG with our Friday's Island Amazing Race.  Here's a look at the rules and teams.

Rules:
The campers are split into 3 teams with a team leader to compete in an Amazing Race competition.  Each team and leader starts at a different station, and at each station, they must complete a challenge to receive a puzzle clue from the challenge leader.  Once they have completed the challenge, the challenge leader will give them the clue to lead them to the next challenge location.  Once the teams have finished all of the challenges, they will have all the pieces to complete a puzzle; once they complete the puzzle, it will lead them to the finish line.  All team members, including the team leader must go to the finish line to complete the race!

The team that finishes first will receive 4 points, the second team 2, and the last team 0.5 points.  There will be opportunities to gain extra points in each challenge, so the fastest team may not necessarily win!  There is a 20 min maximum time limit on each challenge, although the teams do not have to stay the whole 20 minutes at each station once they have finished it.

Teams:

Team Name	Colour	Members	Team Leader
Team Lobster	Red	Adam, Graeme, Adi, Elliott, Dawson, Lydia	Miriam
Team Sea Star	Blue	Connell, Vivian, Kai, Carlos, Jake	Gabi
Team Squid	Green	Sophia, Alex, Lilian, Lauren, Elizabeth, Luke	Michael

Challenges:

1.        Undywater

2.       Seaweed

3.       Inukshuk

4.       Kan Jam

5.       Tide Pool  Scavenger Hunt
