                               GAULS SUMMER CAMP

                                                               2010 -2011

 

           Our Summer Camp was open five days a week, Monday through Friday, from 7:00 A.M. until 6:00 P.M.  It is divided into two sessions. Attendance is flexible and can be tailored to meet most parent's requirements. We
accept campers from ages 2 to 8 years old.

    Summer Camp is a relaxed, fun time where each week has an overall theme. The days have age appropriate activities, reflecting the weekly theme, to engage young minds and bodies. It is an opportunity to develop new friendships and skills. Monday through Friday, all summer long – it’s always something different at Gaul’s!

    Each day explores some aspect of a weekly theme, usually involving a craft activity. Weather permitting we spend as much time out of doors as possible.

             

                FIRST SESSION
                  June 27 -July 29

  

WEEK 1 NEW JERSEY – On your mark, get set, GO! Let’s begin our
         road trip in our own home state of NEW JERSEY! We’ll sample
         some delicious blueberries and other Garden State treats, find
         out why honeybees are so special, and maybe even learn our state
         dance – the Square Dance! The fun is just beginning…...

WEEK 2 PENNSYLVANIA – Right across the bridge in Philadelphia,
         PENNSYLVANIA is where our wonderful USA got its start, so let’s
         help celebrate its birthday! We’ll learn about the Liberty Bell, paint
         with red, white and blue, wear our red, white and blue, and have –
         oh yum! – red, white and blue popsicles! We’ll also learn about PA’s
         glowing insect – the Firefly!

WEEK 3 FLORIDA – Let’s head down south to fantastic FLORIDA –
         alligators, dolphins and manatees – Oh My!! We’ll close our eyes,
         sip ice-cold orange juice, and imagine we are wiggling our toes
         in the sand. No wonder Mickey and his friends live here!

WEEK 4 TEXAS – Grab your cowboy hats and go west, Gaul’s gals and guys!
                          It’s hot, it’s dry, it’s TEXAS! Be careful not to get stuck with that
         Prickly Pear Cactus as we explore this great big state looking
         for armadillos as well as beautiful monarch butterflies. Giddy
         up,Partner!

WEEK 5 NEW MEXICO – Beep – Beep! It’s not a car horn you hear. . . it’s
         the state bird of NEW MEXICO, the Roadrunner! Wear your red and
         yellow this week – it’s fiesta time!

                                      

 

 

 

 

 

                                          SECOND SESSION
                August 1 - September 2

WEEK 6 HAWAII - A sailing we will go, on the Pacific Ocean, to the beautiful
         state of HAWAII! Maybe we’ll spot a humpback whale on our way!
         We’ll be sure to learn about volcanoes, do some luau dancing, and
         make leis! Aloha!

WEEK 7 CALIFORNIA – Back on the mainland, we’ll do some CALIFORNIA
         dreaming as we learn about the wondrous redwood trees. We will
         search for pretty poppy flowers, but be careful if you hear a noisy
         growl – it might just be a grizzly bear!

WEEK 8 WISCONSIN – Traveling east now, we’ll stop off in WISCONSIN!
                          It will seem a little like home – we’ll see farmland, and meet deer,
         robins and cows. Hmmm… what’s a yummy treat made from milk?
         You know we’ll think of something good!

WEEK 9 MASSACHUSETTS – Let’s visit Plymouth Rock and take a peek at
         the Atlantic Ocean. MASSACHUSETTS is where we might just find
         a dinosaur fossil as we explore the land looking for ladybugs. And
         just so you know, the state cookie is chocolate chip! Oh, yes!!

WEEK 10 NEW YORK – We’re almost home, our road trip is almost done…..
          NEW YORK, NEW YORK offers Lady Liberty, singing, dancing,
          and adventure! What a way to end our summer journey and get
          ready for the journey of a new school year! Happy Times!

 

 

      Our playground has additional stations set up each morning for outdoor play. And when the afternoon heat begins, in we go for a cool-down quiet time with a movie. Good old-fashioned summer fun is the name of the game at Gaul’s Day Camp!
