OUTDOOR FUN AND ADVENTURE await boys and girls, ages 7-12, this Summer, 2013 at Raab Park in Poulsbo, Washington.
This summer, 2013, Janet McKibben, a K-8 Certified Teacher and enthusiastic outdoor adventurer, is holding her third year of day camp for two sessions:
July 8-11 and July 22-25
ABOUT OUR CAMP: Each week a small group of children, ages 7-12, will spend their days hiking and exploring outdoors in three areas in and around Raab Park. These areas are composed of wooded trails, grassy fields and forest streams. Informal nature lessons and games are presented throughout the week based on a daily theme: plants, animals, water and soil. The focus of our camp is to present fun and interesting outdoor activities that bring out your child's natural curiosity and sense of adventure! Campers learn about nature through observations, hands-on trail activities and games, by creating "nature art" projects, and by simply exploring and playing in their natural environment. All activities are designed to increase awareness of and connection to the natural world and sharpen your child's observation skills. There will be free choice times to play on the playground, play group team-building games (klck-the-can, camouflage and tail tag are camp favorites), play badminton and play games and explore the children's garden. On the final afternoon the kids will enjoy getting their faces painted by Ms. McKibben, a professional face painter. Scroll down to see more pictures!
Day Camps run four days per week from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Camp fee is $155.00 per week.
