The Golden EagleVolume 3 “Summer of SUN-sational” Week 2

SPECIAL EVENTS This week’s Special Day was Magical Mystery Day! All campers had a fantastic time watching a Magic Show! Everyone enjoyed the day’s activities, especially Quidditch! The younger magicians brewed magic potions that changed colors before their eyes, created art with magic paint and were able to show their magic abilities by reading minds. Our older magicians made pretzel wands in Cooking, searched for magical items in the Wizard’s Scavenger Hunt and tested out their magical abilities with card stacking. Mike the Magician was a huge hit with all the campers and had them laughing from start to finish! Magical Mystery Day was a great follow up to Dr. Seuss day. Due to ELDC camp families generousity, the camp collected over 1,800 books for those in need! We worked hand in hand with a local girl scout to have the books donated to St. Francis Hospital which is currently being rebuilt due to a fire. We are so excited to have helped this enthusiastic girl scout earn her Silver Award with this project. We rounded out our 2nd week of camp with a trip to the Enviromobile, where campers learned about recycling for Going Green Day. Friday was Look-A-Like Day where we couldn’t tell the difference from one camper to the next. Next week’s special day is Sam-my’s Spooky Spectacular, where we will be celebrating Halloween in July! ~Shira, Special Events

The Summer of Sun-sational just keeps getting better!

On Monday Eagle’s Landing was bursting with camp spirit as everyone received their camp t-shirts! We were ready for Picture Day with bright smiles. Laughter filled the camp as we started our second week of camp. We can’t wait to see everyone’s Sun-sational pictures! Tuesday was Dr. Seuss Day and several Thing One and Thing Two’s and even an Afro-Thing could be seen running through camp! All day Dr. Seuss themed games were played throughout the camp. Eagle’s Landing challenged campers and staff to bring in new and gently used books for our book drive. WOWEE!!! It was a sight to behold as we collected over 1800 books for our book drive. Your generosity just made our hearts smile! We want to thank all the ELDC camper families and staff who donated so generously. Our second Special Day was on Wednesday and our theme was “Magical Mystery Day.” Mike the Magician came to Eagle’s Landing and mystified the campers with a Sun-sational magic show that had the campers in stitches and practicing their own spells on their counsel-ors by the end of the day. To add to the magic of the day we played Quiddich, made magical potions and enjoyed a fantastic Wizard Scavenger Hunt. Thursday was “GO GREEN” Day at camp and we had the Monroe County “Enviro-Mobile” came to ELDC to help teach the campers about recycling and envi-romental responsibilty. The Enviro-Mobile is a trailer that features a double side door with a ramp and railing through which as many as 30 children can enter the trailer at once and view nine interchangeable panels detailing the effects of pollution on stormwater, ener-gy conservation tips and proper yard waste disposal. The trailer was purchased empty and outfitted using all reusable materials, including metal and wood taken from an old stage. Campers got into the fun and showed their support by wearing green. Friday we had a lot of fun with Look~A~Like Day.Campers dressed alike and we had a hard time telling telling who was who. It was a such a fun way to end our week. We hope all the campers had as much fun we did and we can’t wait to see you all next week.

~Julia, Editor in Chief

B7C is Chillin’ Like Villians! B7C had an even better week this week thanks to the addition of 7 campers to the group!

~ Samuel, Counselor

1st & 2nd Grade is off to a great start!

The first and second graders are having a fantastic summer so far! Campers are making tons of new friends and having an awesome time with their counselors. The first graders are having a blast! They are adjusting well to camp and are active in all their activities. They are full of energy and loving camp. The second graders are loving their Clubs! Clubs allows campers in second grade to choose from four dif-ferent activities a week. Campers think Clubs are so cool and it has been an exciting addition to their camp experi-ence. With this much fun we cannot wait to see what the rest of the summer will bring. Just a friendly reminder: Please pack two towels and two bathing suits everyday for both swims. If a child has a swim lesson, please pack a third bathing suit for their lesson. It would help us out immensly if all campers could come to camp in a bathing suit with sunscreen already on for Instructional Swim in the morning. Also, labeling all clothing will help reduce the amount of items lost. We so look forward to a sun-sational summer with all of you!

~Jordan & Kelly, 1st & 2nd Grade Division Leaders

Ropes Here we are at week two and WOW, does time sure fly. Our Ropes program is in full swing (pardon the pun) and lots of our 3rd-9th grade campers choose us for electives their climbing skills are awesome. Week one at Ropes focused on the campers getting to know each other with the “Name Game.” We also got to see what we all had in common when we played “The West Wind Blows…” and “What’s Your Name, Where Ya Been?” All of the groups we had did a fantastic job of working together as a team to accomplish various tasks. Grade 1 and 2 campers had fun finding their animal partners and also playing “Grand Prix” with the big rac-coon circle. Grade 3 campers ran the bases Rock, Paper and Scissors style and also kept their concentration when we played Toss Across. Grade 4 campers got mys-tical with Giants, Elves and Wizards and also figured out how to land a flying carpet! Grades 5-8 experienced what it was like to evolve from an egg to a chicken. Some even became Robo Cop! Week two at Ropes has already gotten the groups to work together to remove toxic waste and cross a raging river as the team-building continues… It is amazing what these campers can do when they set their mind to it, listen to each other and all work together!

WOOD SHOP Welcome to Wood Shop 2015! This year we are plan-ning some creative projects that use materials other than wood. One of those projects will be bucket stools where we use concrete as the seat with wooden legs. We’re also using PVC for rain barrels for rain water harvesting. Later on this summer we will use canvas and pipe for our Tee Pee project. Have you seen the Geodesic Dome yet? It’s made with PVC pipe and help together with zip ties and it takes some great teamwork to pull it together. We look forward to seeing you soon in Wood Shop. Do not forget your googles!

SWIM!

It has been an exciting first two weeks at the pools! This week we had over 150 new campers join instruction-al swim! Our top priority for instructional swim is to work on the requirements for the deep water test. Campers are tested on the front crawl, treading, and floating. The deep water test is to ensure the safety of all the campers during free swim. Things we look for during the deep water test include: breathing regularly, continuous swim, endurance, and keeping their head out of the water when treading. We want everyone to have a safe and fun time during free swim! Keep working hard during swim instruction! Everyone is getting better and better every day!
