It may be the weekend in the real world, but at camp it’s Day 4, which means English classes first – not something very usual for a Saturday! The Chipmunks had a lot of fun creating their own crazy monster animals. The Ducklings and Horses…

Day 3 started with English classes. The Rabbits continued their work on water, producing posters about the water cycle, ways to save water, and interesting water facts. The Ducklings finished creating sea animals, then started learning about sports. They then created their own sports (including…
