Camp Thunderbird - Wacky Olympics
This may be my favorite video from camp. On Tuesday night, we had the Wacky Olympics - a bunch of wild and funny relay races. It really didn't matter who won. The kids were too busy laughing and dancing and singing. It was pure joy. Make sure you watch this one all the way to the end - you don't want to miss John Tyler and friends singing "Party in the USA" at the top of their lungs!
Camp Thunderbird - Scenes
Here are some different scenes from Camp Thunderbird - playing basketball during free time, canoeing, and experiencing the wildlife ecology course.
Camp Thunderbird - Living History
One of the first activities we did at Camp Thunderbird was Living History. We went around to several different "characters" and found out what life was like the earlier pioneers. Each team was a family - complete with mom, dad, uncles, aunts, grandparents, and children. Everyone had a part. I think my favorite character has to be the school teacher - it really gives the kids an appreciation for how truly nice I am!
Science Fun Day - Solar System Dances
Mrs. Waddell lead one of our classes on Science Fun Day. Each team of students was given a card that explained a solar system concept, and they had to create a dance that explained that concept . After each team performed, the rest of the class tried to guess what the concept was. I love how they used the shape shifters, balls, and foam pieces. It was really fun to watch. Can you infer the solar system concept each team is showing?

Rules - The Dance
Here's a dance project one of our book clubs created. They read Rules by Cynthia Lord - an incredible book about how we treat others who are different from us.
