Cardboard Carnival




Caine's Arcade in Los Angeles, California is an arcade where all of the machines are completely made out of cardboard. Caine's awesome idea was composed into a 
short documentary that inspired our Bruiser Campers to make a Cardboard Carnival of their own! The cool thing about the carnival? It was made for the Kaleidoscope Campers to play with!





So, Bruiser Campers spent one day preparing for the carnival.  They made their own games, and set up their own ticket booth and prize counter. 
Then the next day, they opened up the carnival
 for the Kaleidoscope campers to enjoy!




The music, games, and laughter out on the front lawn were so immense, that all of us here in the office were lured outside to observe the festivities! We loved watching the smiling faces of the girls with their goody bags, who came over to show the prizes they had won at the carnival. Some campers didn't want to leave when it was time to go!








































It was such a fun day that the campers were talking about it up until the end of the session. I think everyone at camp agrees that this was a great idea for a camp activity, and we can't wait to see what Bruiser Camp comes up with next!


See more pictures from the carnival on our Facebook page!

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!
