WELCOME!! 

Welcome to the Hannah and Friends Intern Blog!! The five of us, Rita, Madeline, Clare, Kaley and myself are more than thrilled to be part of such an amazing community! We have seen first hand how charming the property of Hannah and Friends is, and we have been welcomed with open arms by the participants of Hannah and Friend's Day program and camp members.

This week was our very first summer camp!!! Our theme was Fun&Fitness. The campers entered into a fast paced week of healthy themed activities. For our first day activities included basketball and soccer drills, stretching and aerobic activities. We then went inside to learn all about how to eat healthy, and by the end each of the participants were able to correctly categorize different foods in their correct category. The participants then enjoyed playing on the playground and an assortment of different relays!

Our camp participants enjoyed the beautiful Hannah and Friends property as they played games. 

Our theme for the second day was Karate! Our camp welcomed a very skilled Karate instructor and his children. He told us all about the history of Karate, and taught everyone basic Karate skills.

Hannah and Friend's volunteers are always ready and willing to jump in and make the activities more fun! 

On the third day participants reversed the role with the camp interns! They learned just how hard it is to lead another as they instructed a blindfolded intern through an obstetrical course. The campers enjoyed the wonderful weather as they played kickball, visited the horses, and played on one of the Hannah and Friends playground. To cool off everyone came inside to play sports bingo and to paint their own unique helmets. As a special treat probiker John Pratt came in to teach the campers all about bike safety and his own personal passion for the sport. Inspired by what John had to say the campers went outside to bike on the Hannah and Friends bikes. As a special reward for a long day of fun and fitness the campers were given a pinata!

On the final day of camp for this week our theme was the Olympics! Campers enjoyed Olympic activities such as a javelin throwing, medal making, Anthem singing, and carrying the Olympic torch around Hannah and Friends property. Our campers especially enjoyed getting their face painted for the festive Torch walk and award podium.
