Icebreakers!

June 10th


           Today the campers spent time getting to know one another. With a whole new set of fresh faces to meet, the task was daunting! The Panthers, Tigers, and Jaguars had spent most of the morning working with ice-breakers and making new friends. By the time they reached art class, they knew each other’s names, but not much else besides that. As a result, we found ways to get to know all of our peers. It was Personal Poster Time!

            Personal Posters are a great way to learn about people you don’t know all to well. Using magazine clippings, markers, pencil, construction paper, the campers had to create a poster all about themselves that included 10 of their favorite things. Taylor Swift and pizza were the most popular choices. Once each camper had finished their posters, we returned to our circle to share three of our ten favorite things. Every time someone mentioned a fact that was on your poster as well you had to raise your hand. By the end all the campers were ready to embark on an awesome summer with their peers.
