Summer Day Camp - Week 2

Kids Can! Summer Day Camp continues this week with 25 great campers grades K-5.

Yesterday (Monday) and today (Tuesday) the kids:
- learned about using the gifts and talents God has given us (thanks, Missy Sipes, children's pastor from First Church of the Nazarene!)
- divided into business groups, chose their business interest, developed business plans and named their businesses. Our four newly-created businesses are: Pizzazz Jewelry, Photo Dragon, Downtown Candle Co., and Camper Bakers. (Don't forget, you can buy their products on July 14-15 downtown in city hall plaza!)
- business treasurers took a great field trip to Fifth Third Bank, Red Coach Drive, to get mini-loans to start their businesses. They got to see the vault, send tubes to the drive-thru, and see inside an ATM. Thanks to Daren Cotter and Jessie Beck for making this neat trip happen!
- participated in hula hoop contest
- made some fun crafts
- and had fun playing at the playground and just being kids.

- did a fun Junior Achievement activity of planning their own community center, with all the things they like to do after school. (thanks to Michelle Detrick!)
- and had lots of other fun activities.
It was a great first day of camp!
