Camp SSTAR Outcomes - The Editors

There were too many stars to count in the Editors group. We had an amazing week during Camp SSTAR. Our group not only spent time having fun we spent time learning.

The editors worked as a team completing social skills activities, art projects and team building exercises. While working on social skills the Editors were able to work in small groups and complete worksheets about friendships. The Editors made tie-dye shirts, flower pots, friendship story bracelets and framed collages for art activities. The kids enjoyed this time everyday very much. Andrew quickly became the resident artist in the group. He was like a pro with the modeling clay, a skill he did not even know he had until it was discovered during the week at camp. We are all hoping that he continues to pursue art as a creative outlet because he is very talented and it was evident by the smile on his face how much he enjoyed it. Each day the Editors also participated in team building activities. During team building the Editors were given an opportunity to interact with each other and staff working on emotions and feelings, working in groups, and social skills. During down time the Editors played games and created additional art projects. They also interacted with each other and worked on social skills at the same time. We had a great group that worked very well together. All members of the Editors brought their own strengths to the team.
