Day 9: Blowing off Steam

What a wonderful Thursday to be at camp! This morning after announcements we jumped into camp wide game. On our last two days of camp, campers get to choose two of their favourite games that they have played in the session so far. Unanimously, campers chose Temple of Doom as one of their favourite camp wide games. A good question to potentially ask your campers is, what camp wide game would you like to play tomorrow?

After camp wide game, we transitioned into our social skill of the day- blowing off steam! We started off by talking about how we like to blow off steam when things aren’t going our way. Campers talked about what they like to do in groups and took the opportunity to write their ideas down to share with the group. Afterwards, we talked about some positive coping mechanisms to help us blow off steam. We scream ran, made fidgets and practiced mindfulness. A good question to potentially ask your camper is, what are some ways you like to blow off steam? If you can’t do what you usually like to do, what are some other options available that you might have learned today?

After social skill, it was time for clubs. At Sports Club today, we learned how to play lacrosse. In STEM club we made snow and in Music/Art Club we made spoon drums and worked on our song for our performance tomorrow!

After lunch, we had a ton of wonderful options to choose from. We had Phoenix lead spa choice, Monarch leading water choice, and Atlas leading yoyo making!

We finished off our day with Steps in the Right Direction, and a pie in the face for Bronto as it was a camper’s birthday. That’s all for today, but we are so excited for tomorrow where a counsellor is going to get slimed!
