"You're off to great places, today is your day, your mountain is waiting, so get on your way!"

What another wonderful day of Creative Writing Camp!
Today the campers explored the world of poetry! They learned about different types of poems, which include couplets, diamante, haikus, quatrains and limericks. The campers traveled around to different stations set up in the program room, where they were able to learn, explore and create each different type of poem.There was so much creativity and there are definitely some future poets in this group!
After snack, the campers continued to work on their plays (which will be presented Friday). They came up with topics and the important lesson, or moral they want to include. In addition, they worked on their character descriptions as well as setting.
We spent our lunch time outside in the beautiful weather. The campers had fun playing camp games and sing a-longs.
Then it was time for MAD LIBS!!! The campers had so much fun creating their own mad libs, which are very short stories with missing words or blank spaces. It is the reader's job to insert a word (noun, verb, adjective) in these blank spaces in order to complete the story. There were some very creative and funny stories!!
We are looking forward to another day of creative writing camp tomorrow!!!!
