LOST AND FOUND: Is this yours?

The following pictured are lost and found items from camp this summer. If any of these items belong to your camp they can be found at the front desk of the Humane Society.

Day Four: Cat Day

To start our cat-tastic day, we worked on coloring pages as we waited for all our friends to arrive. After we played a few games before heading inside to visit with a few cats and bunnies. Then we went into the classroom and learned how to take photos of animals from a professional photographer. After we had a quick lunch and played more games! Then we made bird feeders. Some were taken home and others were donated to the humane society! Then we went and learned all about cats from Dr. Z. We had a great day!

Day Five: Dog Day

Today we had two visiting counselors. We had Kelsey's sister Ashley and Cameron's friend Aubrun. They were super fun additions to our last day. This morning we started our last day of camp by finishing our theater boxes. Then we played a bat sonar game and everyone loved it! Then we met Jill who taught us all about how to train dogs. After a quick lunch we played a human knot game. Then we made a paper chain with each link saying something the camper loved about camp! After some Popsicles our guest speakers today were the Burlington K-9 Unit arrived. Officer Wade Labrecque was our community partner and helped us organize for this event.  Corporal Martin and his dog Capone also came to show off their tricks and talents. This included simple tasks like sit, lay down, heel, and stay. This then ranged to more complicated tasks such as searching and tracking and protecting his or her officer. The campers had an amazing time watching the show!

Thank you everyone for a great week of camp!
