Wow! What a week at camp YouthQuest! We started it with a bang! After a crack of thunder and a bolt of lightning we had limited power. Another crack of thunder and a bolt of lightning and we had no power at all! But it didn’t stop us from having a great day! Campers came together in the gym under reserved power and had an awesome game of dodge ball followed by team building exercises and even arts and crafts in the mess hall. Approximately three hours later; the power kicked on and the awesome fifth grade girls had been busy making pom poms and cheered all the way up the hall as good as any Carman-Ainsworth’s High School cheerleading squad. Chanting give me a “P” give me an “O” give me a “W” give me an “E” give me a “R.” What do we got?Power!

This week campers are very busy preparing for our Fiesta Fiesta, making flags from Mexico, maracas, and piñatas. Campers are learning the Macarena to teach to others. The fifth grade girls made cake in a jar and homemade blue jean purses. Kindergarteners, first graders and second graders made fantastic under the sea pictures using sandpaper and made sand art in a bottle. Some of the campers made sombreros out of newspaper and tissue. The campers all agreed the best part of the week was the field trip to Torzewski Water Park in Lapeer County.
Campers devoured grilled Koegel’s hot dogs, chips, watermelon, lemonade, and cookies. They slid down a four-story-high water slide, while others chose to enjoy the pirate’s ship in Pirate’s Cove. AR- AR -AR-mates! But by the end of the day, all the campers stood underneath a huge mushroom and slid down a big frog into the icy cold water. Campers tried to wrestle a ten foot alligator in the kiddy pool without success. What a fantastic way to end a week! Light’s out see you at a flag pole next week. A good time was had by all!
