Emergency Vet

Dear Camper Families,
It was a busy week at Vet camp!

Monday

The Intermediates and Juniors learned how to run a vet's office, and had time to free play with the stuffed animals, vet supplies, etc. The campers also began preparing for Thursday's animal parade.

A rainy day can't dampen our spirits! The kids got to make dog biscuits. They also continued working on their costumes for Thursday's animal parade. We were rained out of afternoon recess, so the kids got to watch a movie.

Tuesday On Tuesday we made bread...
