THE BIG CRAZE!

The biggest craze lately for the campers is making shooters out of weeds. The three biggest fans of the weeds are DKM, JRG, and LRE.(shown to the left) Every trip we go on, they always seem to find them! We thought it would be a good idea to show you how to make one. 

HOW TO:

FIRST: Begin with a simple weed.

THEN: Take the end, root, of the weed and make a loop.

AFTER THAT:

Bend the extra piece of the stem of the weed down.

FINALLY:

You push the bent part towards the direction you want to shoot it at.

We do not know what these weeds are called, if you could tell us what the weeds are in the comments below. Thanks!

A great day to fish

Sometimes we go fishing two or three times a week. We went fishing along the canal and caught one fish. The fishing was a nice time but very hot! The campers liked it when their friend caught a fish because it gave them hope that they could catch a fish too. We walked a long time down the canal to get the perfect amount of shade. We fished for a while and finally WE GOT IT! JM caught a fish, everybody was so happy mainly JM. So we fished for a little more, then we started to walk back, and then we saw a ton of fish! So we stopped and everybody was fishing in that one spot. People were getting there lines tangled, everyone was trying there best to get a fish. The canal is pretty interesting, too, because its a long path of rocks instead of grass that scratches your knees. Hovering over the rock path are trees that gives shade, and if you far enough you'll have endless amount of shade, at least SS says that. When we go fishing we sometimes bring the little kids, the little kids get so excited, a little too excited that they scream and yell even though they don't realize that they are scaring the fish!The campers liked fishing so much, we will be doing it much much more... but LRE still wants his battle!

A day at the museum

Tuesday morning (second day of camp) the campers went to the Trenton, New Jersey State Museum. We walked a full mile to get there! We walked across the bridge, while we walked, some campers stopped and played with the weeds.

We finally got there and all the campers wanted to go somewhere different. Some campers wanted to see bones, some campers wanted to see the 9/11 Memorial, and some wanted to see the art.








We started to walk around, we saw many cool things. All the campers were looking for the "please touch" sign! They were all ready to touch something. The campers got to color and some got to make quilt.We finally saw the art, the Native Americans, and we also saw different types of rocks! On the way back we ate crackers on the bridge until we were back at the daycare, it was a great day...but LRE still wanted his battle.

Discovery Kids Camp Day 1

    
      On the first day of camp the campers wanted to play kickball, we were all hoping it was going to be a great day. These comments are what the campers thought of the game.


Thoughts of Kickball:

• "No steals in Kickball" JDE said, " It was really fun!"
• "It was very fun!" TJE said, "I like running the bases."
• "It was great and my favorite thing was kicking the ball." said DKM
• "My favorite thing about kickball was getting two 'homeruns'!" said LRE  (he crossed home twice)
• "My favorite part was running the bases and getting to first base!" said ZES
• "Kickball is really fun!" JDE says
• "I liked running the bases!" TJE said
• "I don't know......." JRG said

Conclusion: The campers all agreed they all had a fun time with their friends and are looking forward to doing it tomorrow... except LRE he wanted to battle everywhere we went!
