Woldumar Summer Camp 2023 - EGJ

In March, Emily made sure that I signed her up for Woldumar again, since she had had such a wonderful time last summer!  After looking through the pictures in the blog from last year, Grace also wanted in on the fun, so I signed her up as well.  I then offered it to the remaining three, but Juliet was the only one who took me up on it.  

So, last week, my three little campers went to day one of "Survival of the Fittest" camp. = )


Emily was the only girl in her group this year!


On Day two, everyone was a little more confident and happier!



On day three, some storms blew through, and they ended up in the building doing 'indoor' activities, which of course are not nearly as fun as outdoor activities!



Day 4:



While the girls were at camp, I made up counselor gifts. 


Grace wrapped up the one for her (and Juliet's) counselor really cute!


On day 5 it was lightly raining at drop off, so they didn't have out their signs. = (


Luckily, the rain cleared out after about an hour, and they had a wonderful final day at camp!

Next year, if the girls do it, I think William will join them too!  Being outside all day is not Alice's idea of fun, so we'll see what we can find for her.

Ukulele Camp

Emily's ukulele camp spanned the final days of July and first days of August.  It was a half day camp, and much closer to home.  Since Avia was in Texas during this time (she flew in after we picked Emily up on the final day) all 6 of us dropped off and picked up our Emily!

As expected, Emily was all smiles every morning:


There were a few activities in the hallway to occupy some time before the start of camp.


We took some pictures while we waited, too.



The other four enjoyed having the board to themselves while we waited for Emily's class to end.


"Act like you just jumped out of the door:"



On Emily's final day, we ventured to a park nearby.  It is right off of the river in Lansing, and the towers of the power plant, adjacent to the Oldsmobile factory, are so tall it created a feeling of vertigo when I looked at them!


I think Emily had a great time!  Being the social butterfly she is, she was sad to leave her new friends after only four days. But, she got to learn to play a few simple songs, and paint her very own ukulele to bring home. 




Next year, she wants to go to camp for a little while longer.  I think we can make that happen.
