Thanks so much to wonder woman Jessica McFadden for sharing my little list of summer activities for kids on her blog A Parent In Silver Spring. Jessica writes about resources for families and activities for kids in the Washington, DC area on A Parent in Silver Spring, A Parent In America, and elsewhere - check out all of her great work via the links above, and see the Make/Believe post here!
Saint Patrick's Episcopal Day School has a great series of 3 summer camp sessions, each of them with a particular theme. We at Make/Believe are happy to be working with them on art projects that correspond with each of the sessions. For the first one, they dubbed the theme "shark sensation diving destination", e.g. all things ocean, and above you'll find some quick snaps of a few of the projects the kids have been working on, including floating treasure boats, and interactive ocean "theaters." I filled in for fantastic Make/Believe teacher Sarah last week, and had a lot of fun working with the campers.
You might be wondering if the campers also had a chance to take field trips, and if so, were they able to make it to the aquarium to pet sharks and have seahorses wrap tails around their fingers? The answers to these questions are yes and YES. Treasure-boat-ocean-theater-seahorse-handshake? Check, check, check!
