The Golden Eagle Volume 5 “Summer of FUN-nominal” Week 5

Special Events This week’s Special Day was Around the World! As campers moved from one activity to the next, they traveled from one country to another throughout the day. Kiddie Kingdom campers learned songs from diff erent countries in World Music, painted Bell Pepper Shamrock Prints representing Ireland and played What’s the Time Mr. Wolf? which is popular in Australia. First and second grade campers made Israeli Salad in Cooking, created Feather Necklaces inspired by South America and played a tag game based on the Running of the Bulls from Spain. Third through fi fth grade campers played World Cup Soccer, Ga-Ga which is Israeli dodgeball, Around the World in Basketball, built an Eiff el Tower in STEM using only toothpicks and marshmallows and created an Arts and Crafts project inspired by Mexican Dot Painting. Around the World Day was a great opportunity for campers to participate in diff erent activities that they may not have heard of before. Next week’s Special Day is Dr. Seuss Day! What’s your favorite Dr. Seuss book?

Mad ScienceMad Science It’s the end of week fi ve and our Eagle’s Landing campers are busy making scientifi c discoveries. Kiddie Kingdom learned about air this week. They explored the age old question: What is air? We did a fun experiment to learn about this. Our fi rst and second graders have been exploring the magical properties of magnets. We fi gured out what things are attracted by magnets and what things are not. Then we used our magnet knowledge and created a magnet car that was able to race across a paper track! Ever heard of pH? Well if you need a refresher, our third and fourth graders sure can help you out. We learned all about pH this week. We tested the pH of diff erent substances and sorted them into bases and acids. We even got to mix some of them to see how bases and acids react with each other. It was loads of colorful fun. Our Mad Science electives bounced their way into class and created their very own bouncy balls! We made up some “mad” experiments for them and put our bouncy balls to the test. But that’s not all! We all know how careful you have to be with your scientifi c discoveries. You don’t want someone stealing them, so we created our very own invisible ink to write down our great scientifi c ideas. Time sure fl ies when you are having fun in Mad Science. Week fi ve sure went by fast and we can’t wait for more fun in Mad Science!

Hot Fudge and Salted Caramel Blondies

Ingredients: ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted 1 large egg 1 cup light brown sugar, packed 1 tbsp vanilla extract 1 cup all-purpose fl our Pinch of salt, optional and to taste About ⅓ cup hot fudge About ⅓ cup salted caramel sauce

Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside. 2. In a large microwave-safe bowl melt the butter, about 1 minute on high power. 3. Wait momentarily before adding the egg so you don’t scramble it. Add the egg, brown sugar, vanilla and whisk until smooth. 4. Add the fl our, optional salt and stir until just combined; don’t overmix. 5. Turn batter out into prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula. 6. Evenly drizzle the hot fudge over the top. 7. Evenly drizzle the salted caramel over the top. 8. With the tip of a table knife, lightly swirl the hot fudge and caramel into the batter. Don’t overdo the swirling because the hot fudge spreads and widens as it bakes, and if you overdo the swirling, the surface will look blackened and messy post-baking. It’s okay to leave some fairly bare and unswirled patches. 9. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center (if you can fi nd a bare patch to test) comes out mostly clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. The hot fudge and caramel will be glistening, shiny and wet-looking so make sure you’re evaluating the blondie base, not the toppings, if you do a toothpick test. Allow bars to cool in pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. Bars will keep if stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

LITs & CITs Five weeks down, three to go, and we have no idea where the time went! The LITs and CITs have had a fantastic summer and we are sad that we only have three more weeks left of camp. All of the LITs and CITs truly enjoy the time they spend with their groups and specialty areas and are always trying to fi nagle a bit more time with those areas. It is a true pleasure to see the younger campers yell their names, run up for a hug or play with them at the pool. All of these gestures are a testament to the impact they are having at camp. When we are together as a group you can always guarantee a laugh and they always seem to go full force in electives, tribes and meetings. The LITs have been busy making “plarn” (plastic yarn) for our community service and by next week we should have enough to start the mat making process. Thank you for all who donated plastic bags as they are currently being turned into plarn. The CITs have been just as busy working on their Parents’ Night Out fundraiser. It is incredible to see them step up and plan the whole event from start to fi nish. Please take advantage of a night out and drop your kids off on August 1st! All funds collected from that evening will be donated to Pediatric Crohns and Colitis research. All in all, it has been a FUN-nominal camp experience and we plan on making the most of the time left.

Creative Dramatics This week has been an exciting one in Creative Dramatics. Through a series of fun games, we’ve been practicing one of the most important aspects of performance (and politeness): eye contact! We played “Ninja Star, Baby Kitten, Angry Chihuahua” which is a game where campers can only pass an imaginary animal or object to their neighbor while looking them in the eye. We then took what we learned one step further with “Kitty Wants a Corner” which involved making eye contact with someone across the circle in order to silently switch spots! In addition to eye contact, we’ve also been practicing character movement with the game “Lead With Diff erent Parts of the Body” where campers would pretend there was a string attached to their nose, head, stomach, etc. and walk around in a circle. Overall, this week has been extremely fun! Thanks for sending your awesome and ever-enthusiastic campers my way!

Fantastic Fun Fantastic Fun has been FUN-TASTIC! I have the pleasure of spending time with every Kiddie Kingdom and fi rst and second grade camper each week. What makes Fantastic Fun so fantastic?

During Fantastic Fun, the campers participate in a wide variety of games. Campers have participated in Star Wars Tag and Flag Tag. Boys and girls have showed off their awesome dance moves while playing Freeze Dance, Huggy Bear and Four Colors. This week, the campers enjoyed playing Spaghetti and Meatballs. The campers were given a pool noodle which represented spaghetti. The goal was for the campers to use the spaghetti to push wiffl e balls (meatballs) into a hula hoop (their plate). The boys and girls had a blast working together to gather the most meatballs. I am looking forward to seeing all of the Lower Camp smiles in the last three weeks of camp. Keep up the fantastic participation in Fantastic Fun!
