Kids camp

Despite the many things that are going on around us, we continue to move forward with life. Two weeks ago we had a team of folks from New Jersey join us for hosting a kids English camp at our center. 


The team prepared themes and activities for kids age 6 to 13 that would help them to interact with and learn English. The camp was five days a week and lasted about three hours each day. It might not seem like a ton of time, but camps like this zap all your energy, especially with temperatures outside reaching near 110 degrees!

The team members were real champs pushing through jet lag and sickness. The local kids had a blast and they even let some of our own older kids participate. 
Liza even got in on the fun a couple times when I was hanging out helping with crowd control. 

The last day of the camp there was a little graduation for the kids.  The parents came and got to see each age group share a song or a poem and then receive a certificate for participating. 



It was a great couple of weeks, but we are looking forward to getting into a regular routine with our adult classes starting this next week. I know our kids could use some stability and routine, for sure! And with the routine, a hope for cooler weather...
