Tadpoles-

|
|
What a fun and exciting week the Tadpoles had. They were so excited on Monday because they finally got to meet their other counselor, Mr. Dave. Even though it’s been so hot this week, the Tadpoles have really enjoyed the week. They loved singing Taylor Swift songs during Karaoke Day and we all stayed cool on the water slide on Wednesday. They loved going down so fast then making a big splash at the bottom. This week the Tadpoles spent a lot of time in the pool, which happens to be their favorite activity of the day. They are so excited for next week to come! |

Turtles-

The Turtles had a blast during the second week of camp. Riley and Ally brought their singing voices during junior camp Karaoke Day, while Break Dancing Joseph and Smooth Moves Matthew taught everyone their cool dance moves. We also had a lot of fun in the water this week. We had our first swimming lessons and spent a lot of time in the pool on the heat wave schedule. Last but not least, the Rip curl water slide was certainly the highlight of week two because everyone had a great time and no one wanted to ever leave! We can’t wait for week three! |

Geckos-
|
|
|
For many of the Geckos week two was actually week one. The returning campers eased the transition for the new comers by explaining games and helping them with camp procedures. Throughout the week the Geckos began to grow and mesh as a group. It was great to see new friendships forming. This week the kids got to sing their favorite songs on Karaoke Day and race down the rip curl slide, both of which were enjoyed by all. Some of the camper’s favorite activities this week were playground, waterfront, and free swim! Also with lots of talk about the World Cup flying around camp, some of the Geckos participated in soccer clinic and got to sharpen up their skills on the soccer field. All in all the Geckos had a great week; we look forward to many more fun activities and bonding as a group! |

Frogs-

This week the Frogs had a full group with both new campers and campers that were here from last week. On Monday the new campers were tested to see what level they would be in the pool. All campers also had swimming lessons and the Frogs group did a great job with their lessons. It has also been very hot week weather wise. The group has been staying cool with extra swim time and extra special time in the water park! There were two special events this week: on Tuesday, was the junior camp karaoke day and Wednesday we had a water slide come to camp. Both events went very well and both seemed to be favorites by all the campers! |

Toads-
|
|
|
This week was filled with fun activities for all the toads. On Monday, we climbed up the Rock Wall with Mr. Tim and got a lollipop when we reached the top. We also got to take the kayaks out on the creek. On Tuesday we went walking in the creek and found lots of crayfish at nature. We had lots of fun getting socked in the water parks after lunch too! Wednesday and Thursday were extremely hot, so we spent most of our day in the water and gym. On Wednesday we had a huge waterslide that we finshed out the day on and we finished out our week with a few fun games of Gaga, went to the playground, and made fun banners in arts and crafts to hang in our bunk. This week we also had fun singing at karaoke in the gym, where we showed off our fabulous voices! We can’t wait for week three! |

Snakes-
|
|

This week the snakes enjoyed some real special activities all together. On Monday everyone got to show off their singing voices by singing some High School Musical 2 during karaoke. Another special activity was the Rip Curl slide on Wednesday. Everyone enjoyed going down the slide and getting soaking wet. Also some of our friends got the chance to learn some new soccer skills in soccer clinic. Every snake got to participate in making our bunk decorative with two beautiful banners and posters. This week was a blast and we are all excited to see what’s in store next week!

The kids are doing a great job and are having an awesome time with all their new friends at Malvern Day Camp! We can’t wait till next week because we have two of our favorite activities on the calendar Super Hero Day and The Right Price game show! See everyone next week!

Alligators-

|
|
The Alligators had a lot of fun this week! It was the first week of camp for most of the group but everyone has become great friends instantly! The girls loved going on the Rip curl slide to cool off from the heat, and the boys’ favorite activities were Gaga and handball. Due to the hot weather on Wednesday we used the “Heat Wave Schedule”. This meant a lot of pool time which was everyone’s favorite. Everyone had fun playing with the counselors in the pool as well. Another activity that we all enjoyed and participated in was waterfront. Mr. Ryan took the kids all the way down the creek in the kayaks and some decided to creek walk. It was tiring but a lot of fun for all!

Crocodiles-
|
|
|
This was a great week for the Crocodiles! We all made a lot of new friends, animal and children alike, such as the bug we saw at nature! Bryce was the mastermind behind solving our rope- swing challenge at adventure and Zoe accomplished her first time in a kayak, paddling by herself and making it pretty far up the river! We all had a blast sliding down the waterslide, making pastel pictures and flags in art and on Thursday we even got to sing our favorite songs at karaoke! It was a great week for the Crocs!

I could see how much Ben matured after a summer in the Counselor-In-Training program. He had fun while learning to handle responsibility.
