Week 3 Affirmation
"Stamina is sustainable strength in struggle."
|
|
|
We’ve officially wrapped up Week 2 of summer camp, and what an exciting week it was!
|
Last Week's Highlights:
Our students had a blast on their field trip to the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) and enjoyed an interactive experience with the visiting team from Jacksonville University’s Marine Science Institute, who brought the ocean to us with engaging, hands-on activities.
|
These experiences helped strengthen our weekly theme and affirmation:
"The most powerful nation is your imagination, and your imagination is shaped by information."
|
This Week’s Activities:
We’ve got another full week of fun, learning, and adventure ahead—including special guests, enrichment rotations, and more community-based learning opportunities. Please remember to send students in closed-toe shoes. A change of clothes is also recommended for younger students.
|
Starting Monday, June 16 – Lunch Program Begins!
We’re excited to officially launch our partnership with the Boys & Girls Club Food Program, which will provide daily lunch for all campers. The menu for the upcoming week is attached to this newsletter. Please review it carefully.
If your child has a documented allergy, we must have a doctor's note on file in order to make accommodations. Students are always welcome to bring their own lunch.
