The most amazing summer camp week 2!!

The second week of Extreme Camp Colby, our theme was Creative Movement and Glass Art. The students had a blast! It was so interesting to see the different kids who signed up for this week as opposed to sports on wheels week! The week started out really strong! On Monday we went to the Rose Wagner Theater and got to watch the Ririe-Woodbury dancers have a dress rehearsal as they got ready for a Friday night show. It was amazing! The Dance Company only has 9 dancers, so the rehearsal was a very small setting as you could imagine. The students were all star struck and inspired for their dance performance at the end of the week! We watched the dancers, talked to them about our dance we would be performing for parents at the end of the week, and got autographs from the dancers! Haha - I'm telling you, the kids were tooooootally star struck!

Here we are with the Ririe-Woodbury dancers!

Very small setting! It was amazing!

The kids were so into it! It was very inspirational for their dance!

We also went to Sundance to watch the Glass blowing! It was SO cool! The employees were totally showing off for the kiddos! They ate it up! Bunch o' hams!!

Also, Anne, our Middle School teacher/used to be the 5th grade teacher/used to be the P.E. teacher before me, is amazing! On the side, she makes jewelry! It is really cool and I wish I owned most of the jewelry she makes, but she was willing to show the kids how to make glass beads! All of the kids got to make their own bead and put it on a necklace at the end of the week. It was really neat, and Anne is incredible!The last three days of this week, we made a dance with a "Colby Ghost" theme. There is a superstition that there is a Ghost that haunts The Colby School. The Middle School students will have sleepovers periodically throughout the school year and they always hunt for the ghost! As you can imagine, the kids make up all kinds of stories about who she is, why she haunts the school, etc. So, we made up a dance about it! It was really cool! We used the theme music from Halloween and The Exorcist. The younger campers came to watch it, and parents had an afternoon show. After the show, we all came to the Art Barn to have snacks and chat. It was cute and they did really well! I have to be honest though... I sure was glad when that week was over! :)
