Gigi's Summer Camp

On Thursday, August 10th, it was my pleasure to be the parent volunteer at Gigi's Summer Camp. Jena has been attending this activity each Thursday from 11:30-1:30 and had a good time hanging out with friends and doing some fun activities.  A local business got a grant to provide supplies and one of their employees paid time to organize an hour activity related to health and nutrition.  The parent volunteer organized another closing activity--my theme was physical fitness. Normally they have about 8-10 people with Down syndrome but there was only five today.

We started of with a pictionary game about summer activities and then they each made a handprint for a quilt which is going to be auctioned at an upcoming fund raiser.

Jena is working on planning her menu for the week and making a shopping list to match it.

We did a physical fitness scavenger hunt for the closing activity.  We divided into two groups and had a list of things that had to be done.  We took pictures and at the end we got to see the photos from both groups.

While the photos were getting ready, they watered their garden in the back of Gigi's Playhouse.

It was a fun time and then it was off to the races as we were heading up to Bear Lake for the Hall Extended Family Reunion.
