Summer Camp
This week in our summer camp, it was Party in the U.S.A week. The patriotism was everywhere, from being waved around and all of our kids were decked out in red, white, and blue. Even our consolers joined in the fun and all wore American flag bandanas to show their support. One even tied a flag around him and used it as a cape. In our arts and craft project this week, all the kids decided to replicate the USA flag by finger paint. Carlos and Alex Doval loved it so much they decided to paint themselves in support.
