The Sissies had Library Camp at their school the first week of summer. I thought it would be fun for Bear to have a little "camp" of his own. We invited two friends to come and play for a couple of days and do a "camp"- really just a more structured play date with a theme. It was so fun to do for him and they all loved it.
The first day was Pirate day. They painted pirate chests and glued jewels on them. Then they went looking for buried treasure in the sandbox (the best activity for everyone by far- the "treasure" is still buried and unburied regularly). Then they had a great big pirate sword fight. They were so cute. Sometimes they fought each other, and sometimes trees, the slide, and lawn chairs were "dragons" that needed fighting.
The next day was "Super Guy" day. They came dressed in their super-guy apparel.
The boys loved the "Hulk Smash" game I made up- stack the produce boxes in a tower and run through them to smash them down. Big surprise there :)
I was going to have them finger paint their pictures this day, but it was really funny. They did NOT want to get their fingers messy :)
The last day was Train Day. They painted with trains (so fun! Just put a glob of paint on the page and let them drive through it with cars/trains. It makes painted "tracks").
Then they worked together to build and run their trains around the wood tracks. It was a simple and fun day!
