Bruiser Girl Fever in the Office

 Today in the Camp Office, we had time to color a few Bruiser Girls for ourselves. Here's how they turned out!  

We also have a few Disney themed Bruiser Girls... can you tell which princesses we colored?

What Do I Need to Bring?!

Here at the Camp Office, we know that the first day of a new camp week is very exciting, and in that excitement you sometimes accidentally leave things at home! But no worries, we've got you covered. Here in this post, we've assembled a list of all the things your camper will need to bring for his or her camp.  

Camps Included: Rowing Camp, Sailing Camp, K'Nex and Lego Design, Bruiser Camp, Camp Kaleidoscope, Bolden's Theatre Workshop, Babysitter's Training, and Ready to Read.

Rowing Camp: Campers must be able to swim. You will also need to wear a t-shirt, shorts, and tennis shoes. A water bottle is a must, and bring sunscreen!

Sailing Camp: All campers must be able to swim, and bring their own life jacket. Don't forget your sunscreen and a water bottle!

K'Nex and Lego Design: You don't need to bring anything except yourself and a smile!

Bruiser Camp: Wear comfortable shoes (no flip flops!), and bring a bathing suit and towel each day.
(You might need to bring additional things depending on the activities for the day.)

Camp Kaleidoscope: Swimsuit and a towel everyday! Also, bring comfortable shoes!

Bolden's Theatre Workshop: Bring your dancing shoes!

Babysitter's Training: You don't need to bring anything except yourself and a smile!

Ready to Read: All supplies are provided, but you can bring your own if you would like.

We hope this helps you prepare for next week's camps! 

Bruiser Camp's First Day

Another week of camp is underway here at GPS, which means we have even more girls doing even more activities around the school. One thing that we wanted to share with you was an activity that Bruiser Campers created yesterday. If you are walking between the Frierson Theatre and the Main Gym, you will definitely be able to see these unique creations that the campers made. 

Mrs. Archambault gave groups of campers sheets with all the camps going on around GPS this summer. Then, with whatever sheet they had, the girls drew what they thought was going on in each camp. The figure in the top left picture shows a girl at Sailing Camp, while the girl on the top right is building and designing a structure with legos, like in our K'Nex and Lego Design Camp. The bottom picture also shows a softball player, an actress from Mrs. Bolden's Theatre Workshop, and a girl filming something for Digital Storytelling Camp. 

If you are coming by the school sometime this week, come check out these figures, and all of the others hanging in the passageway from the gym to the theatre! 

One Session Down!

Session one of Camp Kaleidoscope officially came to a close this afternoon after the campers put on a stomping performance, dancing to several different country tunes. Like we said in our last post, this Wednesday was Western Wear day at camp. Since today was the last day of the Saddle Up session, why not reminisce through everyone's favorite thing to look at: pictures!

To check out more pictures from Western Wear day, and the whole first session, check out the album on our Facebook page!

Camp So Far...

We are halfway done with the first session of Camp Kaleidoscope, and it's been a blast! The theme for this session has been 'Saddle Up!' The girls have been making crafts related to, and learning about the wild, wild west. By the time this session is over, all the girls will be little cowgirls! Well, they might actually be cowgirls a lot sooner than that, because tomorrow is 'Western Wear' day at camp!

Along with Camp Kaleidoscope, American Girl Camp had a great first session! Campers made clothes for their dolls, played games, and made crafts while learning about the famous American Girl dolls like Addy, Samantha, and Felicity. Each day was centered around a new doll, so there were always new activities in store.

A few other camps, like GeePS and Volleyball camp, have started this week as well. There are still a lot of camps open for registration! Some camps beginning next week are Basketball and Softball camp, Cooking Camp with Chef Nigel (for Girls AND Boys!!), and the first Session of Bruiser Camp! There is still a whole lot of summer left, as well as a whole lot of camps. So, if you still have campers looking for an awesome way to spend the summer, register now on our website!
