Week One: June 23 –June 27 “Roxaboxen”
This week of camp is based on a book by Alice McLerran, called “Roxaboxen”.
This is a story about a group of children who were given nothing but boxes and
rocks, and through their imagination created a city. The campers this week
will be creating their own city. Each child, or groups of children, will be
encouraged to use their imagination to decorate boxes to represent “a store”.
They will then bring in items from home to sell in their “stores”. Money is not
necessary, as the children will search for gold rocks at the beginning of the
week that they will use to purchase items at the “stores”. This is lots of fun
and it is great to see the children use their imaginations and interact with one
another.
THEY WILL LOVE IT!!
Week Two: June 30- July 4 Science
The children will have an amazing week by exploring how much fun
science can be with hands on fun every day. On Monday we travel
through space in the planetarium. While inside the campers will learn
about constellations and much more. Other activities include
experiencing potential vs. kinetic energy, centripetal/centrifugal force
inside the hamster ball, low friction while ice blocking and much more!
Week Three : July 7 - July 11 Nature and Animal
This year our nature week will be one that will not be forgotten. During the
week we will have a visit from the reptile man and all his unique friends.
Other events include planting a garden, nature walks, fun time at the park
with ice sledding and much more. All art projects will be centered on plants
and nature. On Wednesday we will be going on a field trip to the beautiful
“Thousand oaks’ Botanical Gardens.”
Week Four: July 14 – 18 Wild and Crazy
This week is full of crazy games, contest, and wild activities. A couple
of those activities include water balloon, Nerf, and color wars! This

Valley on Wednesday. (We will have the color war Friday so bring
clothes you don’t mind getting dirty in)
Week Five: July 21-July 25 Cooking and Manners
The children will have the opportunity to express themselves through
cooking. They will not need lunch this week since we will be preparing
our own lunches each day. Throughout the week the children will learn
how to set a table, greet one another, and sit properly at a table using
table manners. Lunch will be prepared and served to the parents on
Friday at noon.
