Our Last Day is About Others

Today marks our final day of 4-H Cloverbud Day camp and we are excited about what we have in store.  Our theme is Community Service day and although we think it's all about a lot of work we are finding out it's about other people.  We started by finding out what our day campers thought about their Cloverbud day camp experience.  Things like fun, making a bunch of friends, and cooking were all said.  To follow through with their thoughts our Cloverbuds took sidewalk chalk in hand and decorated the front walkways with their words, thoughts, and pictures of Cloverbud day camp.  We were so impressed that we turned their words into a word cloud.

  After a brief snack we jumped back in by making thank you cards for all those who helped with our camp.  It was fun as we signed each one and gave each person a personal message all of our own.  When we got done making thank you cards our teen leaders led games, which we really love.

  Again Mrs. Margaret and Ms. Danielle made us a fantastic pizza lunch.  It was one of our very favorites.  After lunch we got to watch the rest of our movie, Chicken Little.  After the movie we were very excited because we were told if we behaved in the morning we could have a special visitor.

  As we came back from washing our hands we sat down on the edge of the carpet and followed our instructions.  We learned that our guest was not human, but puppy and very nice.  As our new friend manny came out we learned all about him and how to greet him.  He was very friendly and let us all pet him, he even gave some of us kisses.  We found out that there are lots of community service projects we could do for animals and lots that they do for us.  It was really neat.

  Before we knew it it was time for Mrs. at to come back.  Today our lesson was a dairy lesson and we got to make our own cow.  After a little dancing we had a story and it was time to blast off to the kitchen to make our snack.  Today we made astronaunt pudding.  We could make chocolate or vanilla.  It was so yummy!

  After eating our snack it was time to head home.  We said goodbye to our friends and gathered all of our things to head out to our next adventure, sure never to forget day camp this year.  It was soooooo much fun!
