In the good ole summertime

During the months of June and July The Country Day School transforms into The Camp at Country Day. It is such fun to have a slower pace and the luxury of allowing kids to just Be kids. We swim at Shewood pool, have the ice cream truck complete with music come by every week, go on long hikes in our forest, wade in our creek, find bugs and rocks, and enjoy each others company. This year we are re-discovering board and card games. The Preschool is studying Water in all it's properties, as well as farm animals. Our goats, Trouble and Kidd, play with them in the play yard several times a week. Older campers go to the old Playmor Lanes to bowl and to the dollar movie weekly. There are lots of crafts and cooking, make believe play and time to just enjoy.
