Camp SSTAR Outcomes - The Producers

The Producers What an appropriate name for our group of campers! Our campers produced paintings, clay figurines, painted pots and best of all, friendships! Throughout the week we focused on communication and social skills. Many of our activities focused on identifying emotions, how different experiences make us feel, and how we can tell what someone is feeling by looking at their body language and facial expressions. All of us enjoyed using the water balloons to practice our communication skills. We learned a lot about each other by asking and answering questions while we passed the water balloon around, trying not to let them pop! During the week, the campers supported each other and helped each other learn new games and activities. For example, Thomas and Isaac did a great job teaching some of the other campers how to play UNO. Bjorn helped Clint when he was “frozen” during freeze tag. Darrien helped direct Isaac to his shoe when he was blindfolded. Clint and Darrien supported each other during the 3-legged race, and Adam helped demonstrate how to carefully carry water balloons in a spoon during a relay race. Riley did a great job helping other campers identify facial expressions and body language during the emotions games. At the end of the week, the counselors and campers left with fun memories, new friends and excitement for camp next year!
