This week at Hannah and Friends Summer Camp…

Rita’s View

With the Fourth of July coming up, we are Partying in the USA all week, with popsicles, picnics and a couple special guests! 

On Monday, the Notre Dame ROTC came in and talked to us about the submarines they live in, and the campers asked many questions including, “do you just eat fish for your meals”. Later on, we created fireworks with paint that would light up the sky. Campers learned about the flag, and created ones of their own on paper, some campers didn’t quite get 50 stars on their flag. 

On Tuesday the Clay Fire Department camp and taught us about fire safety, they let us try on their gear and spray the hose. The campers loved trying on the firefighter suits. When spraying the hose, it was very tempting to go under the water, but not a single camper did!  Campers learned about Uncle Sam, played Pin the Beard on Uncle Sam, and even made their own Uncle Sam.             

Wednesday, was the day of the Fourth of July picnic, with our friends from day program, we grilled hamburgers and hotdogs, ate watermelon and enjoyed each others company.  Corn-hole was played, along with badminton! Weis took us on a wagon ride and we counted every single flag we saw.. I think we got up to 20!
