Winter Camp Success!

Just on a whim, I decided that I might try to run a winter camp this year. I was hopeful that there might be interest, but I prepared myself to be ready in case kids would rather rest during their Christmas break or were traveling instead. Registrations were a little slow at first. I wasn't even sure if I would run the afternoon camp since there were only 2 kids registered up until the week before. Suddenly, I got so many registrations that my morning camp filled up and had a 4 person wait list. Then my afternoon camp had a few more registrations and had 6 kids participating.

It was quite interesting moving things back and forth from the YMCA to my van. It was actually a lot of work. What made it worse was that there was a significant snow storm on Thursday. It didn't break any records, but the city was on accident alert AND I'm pretty sure they would have canceled school had it been a regular school day. HOWEVER, nothing would stop those kids from coming to LEGO CAMP!! They were so excited the whole week that it would have taken more than a few icy roads to keep them from attending. I commend those precious parents and grandparents who were willing to tackle the weather. People came that day from as far as Security. The only student who didn't make it was someone from Castle Rock. I totally get that decision!

Here's some photos from a wonderful week.

In the afternoon class, we spend a lot of time on the floor.
