Whether it was building a carnival ride, a pinball machine, or in this case, a hockey game, the LEGO Creators cabin was up to the task! While showing off their building skills, the students learned a lot about problem-solving and basic programming.
Attention CSMF Campers!!! A reminder to please bring some socks for Fun Day on Thursday, 7/25.
We built this city on Rock and Roll... And by Rock and Roll, we mean the applause-worthy efforts of our Happy Campers! During this year's CSMF season, they came together to build "Constructionville" out in the hallway! Check out this Skyline!
A wonderful seven days of camp, and perfect ten scores across the board from the judges.
The Gymnastics Cabin wrapped up its regular activities during the Camp Showcase with this medal ceremony! Our young gymnasts have certainly earned it with their progress in the last two weeks!
Who doesn't love science time with Professor K? This morning, the First Grade Light Blue Cabin worked with "Camden's Most Cheerful Mad Scientist" for some hands-on activities!
The group started off by working in pairs using small catapults. One partner was responsible for aiming the catapult, while the other was responsible for trying to catch the erasers it launched in a paper cup. This was a fun way to demonstrate concepts such as propulsion, leverage, and the basics of simple machines to the campers. The cabin was then split up into teams for a relay race using buckets of sand and a laboratory balance. When the mass of the sand exceeded the set weight on the balance, it tipped to signal they had reached the finish line. Finally, they participated in an ultimate test of teamwork by using slingshots to launch pom poms across the basketball court. Each student needed to perform their role flawlessly to get the slingshot to launch correctly.
This is one cabin where tooting your own horn is not only encouraged, it's a requirement.
Our Encore Jazz Cabin put on a terrific four-song set this morning! The setlist included the Latin Jazz favorite "What's Cookin" by Victor Lopez, the John Coltrane classic "Blue Train", the Louis Armstrong standard "What a Wonderful World.", and of course, the "Blues Brothers Rockin' Soul Revue", which contained several memorable songs from the motion picture.
Congratulations to our 17-piece "Big Band" on a terrific run! We'll have video to share soon!
Our amazing "Drama Central" cabin put on an impressive show this morning with their annual production, "The Three Little Pigs Rap."
We look forward to seeing what they do next on stage!
Our Grade 1 Green cabin took some time in the fresh air to enjoy a mid-morning snack!
The EMagination Cabin spent the 2024 Camp Sum-More-Fun session creating spectacular art, with a focus on their "Knights and Gnomes" theme! The canvas paintings you see here were just one part of the fun!

We look forward to seeing you if you are attending!
Is your student the next great inventor? Well, they would love our Lego Innovators Cabin! The Innovators Cabin takes the skills learned in the Creators Cabin, and takes them to some next level applications! When we visited on Tuesday, students were building safes, and were quick to show off their work including an impressive robot!

Dialed in and focused for today's performance.
Students from the Culinary Arts cabin went on a field trip to the Tailwater Lodge in Altmar! While there, they got a professional lesson in breading chicken before the chef cooked their creation!
Fresh off a nutritious and balanced lunch, our campers were ready to tackle the afternoon.
Did you know that Mr. Ferretti was once a winner on Iron Chef? The featured ingredient was popcorn, and his opponent was totally baffled.
(This is really just a picture of him making popcorn for our campers, but we'll keep that between us......)
The students in the Camp-Sum-More-Fun Construction Crew can't stop raving about these ping pong ball launchers they made! Students worked to cut and finish the wood, assemble the components, and attached the necessary hardware to make these a reality. They spent the afternoon trying to put the balls into buckets to win some camp bucks for the Camp Store!
Move aside, Cake Boss.... our students are ready to show you how its done. Last week, our CSMF "Cake Decorating" students were hard at work creating some fun cakes! They decorated a spaghetti and meatballs cake, a beach cake, and a campfire cake. You could say they put the "Art" in Culinary Arts with these creations!
The CMS Agriculture room was quite a zoo today.... Literally. There were plenty of animals on display including ducks, chinchillas, rabbits, tortoises, and of course, our wonderful Ag room dogs are always a hit!
Join Connected Community Schools for the coolest event this side of the Cretaceous Period... Dino Crafts! It happens on Thursday at Camden Elementary School. As an added bonus, they will have their previously scheduled Fossil making activity, as they were unable to hold it today due to rain.
