Opening Party- Indoor Campout!

This week kicked off our Opening Party at four of our library branches- Cuba, Bourbon, Ste. Genevieve, and Fredericktown.  The theme for the program was Indoor Campout, and all of the kids had tons of fun learning the silly camp song, "Boom Chicka Boom", playing two survival skills games (Camper's Memory, which taught us the power of observation, and Flip-the-Pancake, which showed us how to be quick on our feet!), and making clothespin grasshopper flickers.

Scribbling away during Camper's Memory.

Using teamwork- and balance!- in Flip-the-Pancake.

All "campers" left with a prize from the treasure chest and a yummy s'mores kit to take home with them.

Even if you didn't get to attend the Opening Party, there are plenty of great programs left to attend in Summer 2012!  Pick up a complete schedule of events at your local library, or view the schedule online by clicking on the June and July calendar images in the left-hand column of this blog.
