camp shiwaka 2012


hello there rocket cats!! hope you are having a wonderful summer!!

next week is camp shiwaka and wanted to give you a quick reminder of the schedule:

Monday through Wednesday 9am to 3:30pm
Thursday drop off between 2 and 2:30pm, sleep over, pick up Friday 10am

I will be at the campsite next to the rocket cats this week and will spend some time taking pictures and doing special activities with them. I will be sleeping over with another parent from my older group on Thursday so rest assured, the kids will be well supervised.

What to bring Monday: ditty bag (with plate, cup, bowl, utensils), sit upon, hat, water bottle with their name on it for the week, sunscreen, bug spray (if your kid gets bit, its hit or miss with the bugs)
   kids must wear closed toe shoes (NO FLIP FLOPS OR SANDALS), long socks (no ankle socks please) and remember they will get super dirty. long hair needs to be pulled back, we cook over the fire each day.

Monday: bring a sack lunch, meals are cooked in camp the rest of the week
Thursday: bring sleeping bag, pillow, pi's, tooth brush and paste, clothes for the next day. kids can bring one sleeping toy/blanket type thing like a stuffed animal (remember it will get dirty and stickers so make sure kids know it might be ruined)

remember no electronics are allowed at camp (phones, iPods, game boys etc) we want to ROUGH IT OUT THERE!! :)


Camp Shiwaka is the start of our new year and we have lots of fun stuff planned starting in September. We are in Adventure Level now so Indian themes become more prominent. the kids will pick a new indian name for our group, make a new group symbol and work on their own personal indian names. the kids really love this so i am excited to see what they come up with.
