Welcome to Dance with Miss Kristin!
Join Miss Kristin for fun filled creative movement and dance! Pre-K and Kindergarten campers will enjoy a warm up, followed by several creative movement activities, a dance “game” and a closing/cool down. Older campers will enjoy a short dance warm up followed by learning short, simple dances to popular songs, followed by a game and closing/cool down!  So put your comfy clothes and sneakers on, find some space to dance, and get ready to move and groove with Miss Kristin and all your camp friends right from your own home!!

Do you love computers? Do you wonder how your favorite games are created? Campers will learn the basics of computer science coding, how to create games, art, and digital stories all through code! Get ready to use problem solving and team working skills to expand your computer science knowledge and creativity.

For: (Nursery, Kindergarten and First Grade Campers

Campers will hear fiction and non-fiction stories that will inspire activities, science tricks, challenges and all sorts of creativity.  Bring your love of books and your spirit of fun! 

Campers will be reading and talking about books together.  Summer fun reads could include your favorites like the I Survived books, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Lunch Lady, Ivy and Bean, Calvin Coconut or we’ll be waiting to hear what you like to read and share those too!  Remember, most book clubs include a snack and word game or challenge too.

Campers will explore Music through movement and singing in the comfort of their own spaces. They will learn a variety of body percussion and some music games that can be played with as little as two people. Campers will explore the joy of music making with music from a wide selection of styles.

Campers will learn about water safety from the comfort of their homes. We will discuss ways to recognize someone who needs help swimming, and how to keep ourselves safe in different bodies of water. We will also discuss ways to keep ourselves safe and healthy when we are out in the hot sun, something that we all often forget while swimming.

Virtual Art will be designed to stimulate creative expression through projects and fun activities driven by themed weeks. Each week campers can get creative with themed art activities, craft projects, drawing prompts and new learning experiences. Pop Art, Zen-tangle, Pointillism-what is that?? View video tutorials created especially for campers, helping them learn new techniques. This will be fun for all ages! Whether campers do the activities on their own or families join in on the fun, everyone benefits!

Broadway might be closed, but the show must go on! Campers will be introduced to the understanding of the basic elements of theater such as character development, voice, and movement. Campers will enjoy the various activities and games that will enhance their performance skills. Whether it is acting in a scene or monologue, singing a show tune, or maybe even creating a commercial, no one will want to miss this summer’s truly unique theater experience.

Campers will be introduced to a number of styles (Tae Kwon Do, Xing Yi and Ba Gua Quan being the most prominent) providing variety, while focusing on basic foundational concepts and techniques. Basic stretching, stances, punches and kicks, rolls; and combinations will incorporate those basic skills. Campers will also use a modified form or kata based upon the age groups. 

Don’t throw away those paper towel tubes, those cereal boxes, or Amazon boxes! These and other recyclable materials will be transformed into treasures this summer. Campers will put their creativity to the test as they build and construct a variety of projects.

Virtual Mindfulness, we believe, couldn’t be more beneficial and appropriate for our campers during these difficult times. We will be offering activities that focus on deep breathing, attention to themselves, the ability to reset and rebalance, and positive visualization. Some specific wellness/mindfulness activities that we will include are guided  yoga/meditations, mindful eating, mindful reading, feel good music, mindful art, positive affirmations, feelings exploration, making a calm bottle, and creating your own stress ball. All of these fun, easy, and enjoyable activities will give campers tools and skills they can use not only in camp, but year-round to reduce stress and anxiety. I look forward to “seeing” all of my campers soon! 🙂

Campers will play some of their favorite games such as BINGO, charades, Pictionary, Connect Four. Campers will enjoy spending time playing games with camp friends.

Campers will work on building their physical fitness with live workouts. Come learn how to do push ups, jumping jacks, crunches, and other body weight exercises. Campers will have fun working on their physical fitness while laughing with their camp friends.
